Your faculty or journal has a referencing style, and the marks (or the desk-reject) often turn on getting it exactly right. The Referencing service formats your in-text citations, footnotes and numbered references to that style — OSCOLA, Harvard, APA, PELJ, Vancouver and more — and rebuilds a correctly sorted bibliography or reference list. We keep your words. We fix your citations.
R4 per page, R150 minimum. Citations and bibliography brought into line with your required style. No language editing of your prose.
One pass takes the citations you have already written and brings every one of them into line with your required style, then builds the reference list to match.
Every footnote and in-text citation reformatted to your required style: author, title, year, pinpoint, and punctuation set out exactly as the guide demands, with ibid, short forms and cross-references kept consistent throughout.
For Vancouver and other numbered systems, references are numbered in order of first appearance, the numbers in the text are matched to the list, and the reference list is built to the journal's layout.
Your bibliography or reference list rebuilt to the style: ordered as the guide requires, de-duplicated, grouped where the style asks for it (cases, legislation, books, articles), with consistent hanging indents.
We format to the exact style your faculty or journal requires, with particular depth in South African law-journal styles. If your guide isn't listed here, send it with your document and we'll work to it.
Footnote, author–date and numbered styles we format to every day, among others.
Using a guide that isn't listed? Send your faculty or journal style guide with your document and we will format your references to it. House and supervisor-specific styles are welcome.
