Referencing Support

Referencing errors are the cheapest marks students lose — and the easiest to fix. Our referencing support corrects in-text citations and reference lists to your department's exact style guide, and can rebuild a bibliography from scratch when sources have gone missing.

Every major UK referencing style

Harvard in all its university variants, APA 7, OSCOLA for law, MHRA for humanities, Chicago, IEEE for engineering and Vancouver for health sciences. We work from your university's own style guide where one exists, because 'Harvard' at one institution is not 'Harvard' at another.

What we fix

In-text citation format, direct-quote page numbers, secondary citations, et al. rules, reference-list alphabetisation and completeness, DOI and URL formatting, and matching every in-text citation to a list entry (and vice versa). We also flag citations that look unreliable so you can verify the source.

Built into every writing service

Referencing support is included automatically in our academic writing, essay and dissertation services — and available standalone when you have written the work yourself and just need the references made watertight.

Common Questions

Referencing Support — FAQs

My reference list and in-text citations don't match — can you fix that?

Yes, this is our most common referencing job. We reconcile both directions: every citation gets a list entry and every list entry is cited (or flagged for removal).

Can you convert my references from one style to another?

Yes — for example APA to Harvard, or Harvard to OSCOLA — including reordering and reformatting the full reference list.

Do you check whether my sources are credible?

We flag sources that appear weak or unverifiable (broken links, non-academic websites, missing publication data) so you can replace them before submission.

How do I send my document?

Attach it directly in the enquiry conversation on the contact page — Word or PDF both work.
