Reference and Citation Consistency Consulting

Support with references and citations that follow APA, MLA and institutional templates.

Overview

We provide consulting to ensure that the citations and reference list in your work fully comply with the style your institution requires (APA 7, MLA, Chicago, etc.), and are complete and consistent. Together we check that in-text citations match the reference list exactly, follow the formatting rules and have all required fields entered correctly.
