Editing References and Bibliographies

The following information is of a general nature.  You should confirm the type and standard of services offered by individual Editex editors before engaging them to edit your work.

In-text reference checking

Many students and academics struggle with correcting their complex references, citations and bibliographies, particularly when having to decipher the various intricate referencing systems required by universities and journals. This is where the assistance of one of Editex’s professional academic editors can be invaluable. They will ensure strict compliance with the required referencing system and check correct placement and utilisation of in-text citations and page number references. This is one of our most in-demand services, but you also have the option to exclude this part of the editing process.

Editing your bibliography

Professional editing is key for those needing their bibliography to pass demanding scrutiny (or pedantic examiners and reviewers). Your Editex editor will ensure that your bibliography complies fully with your required style guide. Your editor will locate or comment on missing information and carry out exhaustive cross-checking to ensure that your in-text references and bibliography are cohesive. If you choose to have your bibliography edited, you must also include In-text Reference Checking. Remember, if you want to have your bibliography edited, please include it in your word count.
