Citations and References
References to the research of others in your field is obviously important, however, one of the biggest challenges for many writers and researchers is correctly styling or including all citations and references. Elite Research editors will work to confirm all your sources match up to avoid plagiarism and inconsistency.
In-Text Citations Formatting
What is it? After performing the in-text citation check, the next step is in-text formatting. Our editors confirm correct formatting in the in-text citations by checking for spellings of authors’ names, punctuation in narrative and parenthetical citations, use of et al. throughout the document, alphabetization of parenthetical citation lists, and usage of and or & in narrative and parenthetical citations.
Style guides supported include, but not limited to, all editions of APA, AMA, MLA, ASA, ACS, Chicago, and Turabian.
