About this service
Journals rarely use a pure APA or Vancouver: most have a house style in their guide for authors, with their own punctuation, author limits, bold volumes or reference numbering. We reformat your list to the exact rules and examples you paste from the journal's guide, so the manuscript is not sent back at the technical check. We do not open the journal's site or look sources up online, so the guide comes from you and missing data is listed.
What is included
- What you getYour reference list reformatted to the journal's guide for authors, with notes on rules that were unclear and a list of entries missing data; Premium also checks in-text citations for the journal's format. You get it as text on the order page and as a Word (.docx) file.
- House stylePunctuation, bold, italics as in the examples
- Author limitset al. after the number the journal sets
- Order and numberingAlphabetical or by citation, as required
- Unclear rules notedWhere the guide has no example
How it works
- 1GuideYou paste the journal's rules and list
- 2ReformattingWe apply the house style
- 3NotesYou get open points and gaps
What we need from you
The reference list as text or a Word or PDF file, the references section of the journal's guide for authors with its examples, and for Premium the manuscript.
We will ask you:
- Which journal are you submitting to?
- Can you paste the references part of the guide for authors?
- Is this a first submission or a resubmission after review?

Questions and answers
Can you just use the journal's EndNote style?
We cannot load style files, but we follow the written rules and examples, which is what the editors check against.
What if the guide just says "use Vancouver"?
Then we use standard Vancouver and match details, such as the use of DOIs, to any sample references you paste from a recent issue.
Do you format the rest of the manuscript?
No, only the references and in-text citations. Headings, figures and the title page stay with you.
Do you look up missing details online?
No, we work only with what you send. Every source without a year, pages, DOI or publisher goes into a list, you add the details, and we update the entry within your revisions.
