§ Citation Formatting · References
Citations formatted to your university's exact style — every comma, every italic, every live in-text citation.
APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago 17, Vancouver, IEEE, Harvard, AMA, OSCOLA — and the small departures your institution made to whichever one. We correct formatting and hand back a clean, submission-ready bibliography.
- 01 Style edition matters. APA 7 not 6, MLA 9 not 8, Chicago 17 not 16. We work to the current edition unless your guide insists otherwise — then we follow your guide, footnotes and all.
- 02 Formatting precision. We correct punctuation, ordering, capitalization, italics, and DOI/URL structure — ensuring every reference follows the required style format.
- 03 Clean and consistent. Your entire reference list is standardized — no mixed styles, no inconsistent entries, no formatting errors across sections.
- 04 Manager-friendly file. Delivered as a Zotero / Mendeley / EndNote library or a plain Word document — your call. Easy to reuse anytime.

Editor's note
Your supervisor's mark-up flagged "inconsistent style across chapters" — confirmed: chapters 2 and 5 mixed APA 7 with traces of APA 6 (an & before the final author was missing in seven entries; DOIs rendered as doi: rather than full URLs). I've harmonised the whole manuscript to APA 7. Two references could not be verified against the original source — flagged in the change log on page 3 with what to check. — Dr. G.

§ 03 · The standard
Why this bibliography holds up — under your supervisor's red pen.
01
The current edition, not last decade's
APA 7 (not 6), MLA 9 (not 8), Chicago 17 (not 16). We track the editions and their errata. If your university's style guide is older, we follow your guide — but we tell you what changed, so you can choose.
02
In-text and bibliography stay in lockstep
A reference list with twelve sources and an in-text corpus that mentions thirteen — we reconcile. Author–date or numeric, footnotes or endnotes, ibid. and op. cit. handled where the style permits.
03
Reference-manager ready
Delivered as a Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote library — or as a portable BibTeX or RIS file. Re-cite next semester, the library is still there. No plain-text-only handoffs.
§ 04 · Catalogue
Sources we format, indexed by type.
A working list, not exhaustive. If your source isn't here — a museum object, a parliamentary debate, a tweet from 2014 that no longer resolves — ask. Most styles cover it; the rest we'll format by analogy and document why.

§ 05 · The process
From draft to defended bibliography — step by step.
-
i.
Brief
Send the manuscript and your university's style guide (if it has one). A 15-minute call (free) to confirm style edition and any house departures.
-
ii.
Audit
You receive a one-page audit: count of references, count of in-text calls, anomalies spotted (mixed editions, broken DOIs, missing entries). Approve and we begin.
-
iii.
Format & verify
Each reference is rebuilt from the source, in-text calls are reconciled, and the manuscript is harmonised end-to-end. Daily updates by email if the project runs over 48 hours.
-
iv.
Delivery + 7-day touch-ups
You receive the manuscript, a manager-ready library, and a change log. Adding three references next week? Send them — touch-ups in the same style are free for 30 days.
Submitting to a journal rather than your university? We deliver in the journal's house style — Elsevier, Springer Nature, Wiley, Taylor & Francis, Sage, IEEE, ACM all have their twists. Send the "Guide for Authors" link and we match it.
§ 06 · Pricing
By the cite for small jobs, by the scope for the rest.
Indicative starting fees in INR. Final quotation arrives within twelve hours of brief — no payment until you approve.

What scholars say after the bibliography stops being a problem.
★★★★★
My supervisor had circled "inconsistent citation style" three times in four chapters. After Get Plagiarism Report I had a clean APA 7 throughout, with a change log explaining what was wrong. The next round of comments did not include a single citation note.

★★★★★
I had a Zotero library that had drifted across three years and four laptops. They de-duplicated 240 entries down to 198, fixed every DOI, and exported a clean BibTeX I am still using.
A. Rao
Anna University · PhD
Citation Formatting
★★★★★
Vancouver style with the journal's specific quirk on page-range punctuation. They got it right the first time — the desk editor's checklist came back ticked.
Dr. R. Iyer
AIIMS New Delhi
Citation Formatting
★★★★★
OSCOLA case citations for a comparative-law dissertation: Indian, English, and EU judgments mixed. Most editors would not touch it. Theirs returned in five days, footnoted exactly to the school's house guide.

★★★★★
The 7-day touch-up window mattered. I added eleven references in the week before submission, sent them in batches, and they came back formatted without a fresh quote.

★★★★★
I needed the same paper formatted for a thesis submission and a journal version. They did both, side-by-side, in one engagement. Half the second style's price.

Questions
FAQ
-
Yours. We treat your university's guide as the binding document and APA 7 as the fallback for anything the guide is silent on. At brief, send the guide PDF — we read it, list the departures from APA, and confirm them with you before formatting begins.
-
Yes — APA to MLA, MLA to Chicago, Chicago to Vancouver, or any combination. The reference list rebuilds from your sources and the in-text calls are converted (author–date ↔ numeric, parenthetical ↔ footnote). If you already have a Zotero or Mendeley library we re-style it in place.
-
Yes. Every reference is opened against the original source — Crossref, the publisher PDF, the institutional repository, the original webpage. Wrong year, wrong volume, missing editor, dropped DOI — corrected and noted. References that cannot be verified come back flagged in the change log; we never invent a missing field.
-
Yes — and arrive cleaner. We work directly in your manager (you share the library, or we receive an export), de-duplicate, harmonise the metadata, and return a single clean library plus a portable BibTeX or RIS file. Tags, collections, and notes are preserved.
-
Style-dependent. Chicago notes-bibliography uses footnotes with shortened citations after the first; OSCOLA prefers no Latin, full citation on first instance, ibid. permitted. We follow the style's current edition. If your supervisor prefers an older convention (e.g. ibid. across the manuscript), we accommodate it and document the choice.
-
Yes. Original-script titles are preserved with a transliteration and a translation in square brackets, per the style's conventions (APA 7 §9.39, MLA 9 §6.50, Chicago 17 §11). Devanagari, Bengali, Tamil, IAST transliteration all handled.
-
Yes. Send the .csl file with the brief — we install it, format to it, and return the library with the style applied. If your university publishes its CSL on the Zotero Style Repository, we will fetch it and confirm before starting.
-
Anything that fits within the original scope — adding new references in the same style, fixing a DOI that broke after delivery, reconciling an in-text call you added in a revision. New chapters, switching styles, or re-formatting after a structural rewrite are quoted separately. The window starts the day we deliver.
