FAQ
What do you need to get started on my paper?
Please provide your manuscript in Microsoft Word format (.docx) along with the name of your target journal or a direct link to its "Instructions for Authors" / submission guidelines.
Does this gig include proofreading, editing, or rewriting?
No. This gig strictly covers technical formatting, document structure, typography, and citation compliance. If you need language editing, grammar corrections, or tone polishing, please check out my academic proofreading gig or message me for a custom package.
Which citation and referencing styles do you support?
I handle all major academic formats, including APA (6th & 7th), Vancouver, IEEE, Harvard, Chicago/Turabian, MLA, and specific publisher-customized formats (such as Elsevier, Springer, Nature, or MDPI styles).
How do you handle tables, figures, and supplementary materials?
I align tables and figure captions, standardize labeling and notes, and adjust their placement according to your journal’s specific rules (e.g., embedded within text or grouped at the end of the manuscript).
Can you guarantee my manuscript will be accepted by the journal?
I guarantee your manuscript will 100% meet the target journal's technical submission and formatting standards to avoid technical desk rejection. However, final peer-review acceptance depends entirely on your scientific content, methodology, and the journal's editorial board.
In what format will I receive the final work?
You will receive two files: a submission-ready .docx document completely formatted to the guidelines, and a marked-up Track Changes version so you can see every layout and stylistic adjustment made.
