Book Indexing and Citation Formatting

Book Indexing

We specialize in book indexing for publications across subject areas. Important topics are systematically arranged so that readers may have easy access to relevant content. Every index is created based on author and/or publisher preferences. Quality and on-time delivery are guaranteed.

Citation Formatting

Getting the citations and references right can be tricky. Ensure that your academic book’s manuscript follows your publisher’s citation guidelines thoroughly -be it contributor information, reference article title, or publication details.

Common Ground’s Book Citations Formatting has been designed to help you organize bibliographic details of different kinds of sources - papers in journals, chapters in multi-author volumes, books, conference proceedings, etc. efficiently in different referencing styles (MLA, APA, Chicago, and so on). This ensures that you meet all necessary publication requirements to avoid being penalized for plagiarism, or even being barred from submitting to a particular publisher for a while.
