What is included in the service
Service features to ensure all the journal formatting requirements are met

Complete compliance with guidelines and template application

Journal requirements in terms of template application, font, page layout, line spacing, etc. will be applied to the entire paper. Even if guidelines like template usage are mentioned as optional, these will be followed. This includes the change of American English to British English or vice versa.

Changes to paper and abstract structure

If required by the journal, the paper and/or abstract will be restructured, and text will be moved from an endnote to a footnote or vice versa. For example, some journals require the methods section to be placed at the end of the paper or they require the abstract to be in a structured format.

Thorough formatting of citations and references

The in-text citations and reference list will be formatted based on target journal. All references will be matched to citations and checked online for accuracy. Missing information (all authors, page numbers, DOI) will be inserted if available online, or will be highlighted to you.

Creation of separate documents

If the journal requires the figures and tables to be placed at the end of the paper or in separate documents, or if a separate title page is required, such changes will be made.

Highlighting requirements outside the service scope

If the journal has recommended changes that go beyond the scope of manuscript formatting service, such as creating keywords or highlights or missing information/sections, these will be shared with you through detailed comments.

Frequently Asked Questions

01
Do you format manuscripts for journal submissions?
We format research papers for journal submission. You can request manuscript formatting using the online submission form and insert the URL of the journal you are submitting your article so that our editors can make sure that your submission fulfills all the journal's article formatting requirements.
02
How can I share my manuscript or research paper with you so that it can get formatted?
We have a secure online submission system in place for you to upload documents. If you have a document ready for formatting, you can choose the Manuscript formatting services and upload it directly.
03
What file format should I submit when requesting formatting?
Currently, only Microsoft Word files are supported. Please note that PDF and Latex files are not supported.
04
If the journal guidelines mention a word count limit, do you reduce the word count to reflect this?
Word reduction is not included in the scope of this service. If you wish to reduce the word count of your paper or abstract, you can do so through the Editage Editing Services.
05
Why does my formatted paper look different from papers published in the target journal?
We format the manuscript according to the journal submission guidelines. After the journal accepts the paper, the journal will make several typesetting and other formatting related changes; therefore, the final format of the published paper may differ from the format of the submitted manuscript. At the submission stage, journals only expect and require that authors apply the formatting guidelines provided by the journal. We only refer to sample papers or published papers on the journal website when journal guidelines ask authors to do so for the purpose of complying with the journal's guidelines.
06
Can you format my thesis?
Yes, we can. If your university/institution guidelines are in English or if standard style guides like APA format can be applied to the thesis, we can format it for you.
07
What separate files will you create for me within this formatting service?
If required by the journal, we will move sections such as the title page, figures, and tables to separate files. However, this service does not include the creation of separate abbreviation lists, highlights, cover letters, or reporting guideline checklists. Additional files required by the journal, like graphical abstracts, cover letter, etc., can be requested separately and will be chargeable.
08
If I use this journal formatting service, will my paper be considered ready for journal submission?
Please refer to the comments left in the paper by the publication expert before submitting to the journal. The expert will highlight any additional requirements that might need to be met before submission.
09
What is the difference between manuscript formatting and editing?
Our formatters ensure your manuscript follows journal guidelines for layout, fonts, spacing, citations, headings, and more, but do not correct grammar or language in the paper.
10
Are figures or measurement units also included in the formatting?
Changes to measurement units, number styles, gene name/symbol notation, table size/resolution, etc. are not included in the scope of this service. Please contact your customer service manager for these requirements, and they will direct you to the correct Editage service to meet your needs.
