Expert Formatting and Referencing Service for Your PhD Dissertation-From Top-Class Universities Across the Globe

Formatting and referencing of dissertations often present challenges for PhD researchers, as they require precision, attention to detail, specific institutional requirements, and accurate citations. As these sections are so important, they can make or break a dissertation's quality.

Formatting and referencing influence the evaluation of a dissertation differently from other sections. Formatting and references demonstrate a researcher's knowledge of academic presentation requirements and can offer a clear, consistent approach throughout the dissertation.

The reviewers and advisors will carefully look at:

The organisation of the manuscript (title page, abstract, introduction, methods, results, discussions, references) is according to the requirements of the specific university or journal.

  • Proper formatting of citations and references according to the requirements of specific styles (APA, MLA, Chicago, Harvard, Vancouver, etc.).
  • The formatting of tables, figures, and appendices specifically follows academic convention.
  • The appropriate clarity and professionalism of the manuscript, including a lack of errors.

This is a point where many authors struggle—on the minor side, formatting or reference errors can lead to a significant amount of work to revise, lead to a rejection of a manuscript, or result in a poor grade.

  • Make sure that all tables, figures, and appendices follow the academic standards for integration and formatting.
