Scope of service:
While handling the formatting aspect, we check the following aspects of research papers:

- Headers: The headers and sub headers have to be in a definite style. Whether it is capitalization, italics, underlining or boldface, you must use the correct style. Plus, the positioning of the headers and sub headers will also be checked. If you have a running header, it must be correctly placed too.
- Citations: All citations are checked for various sources, according to the required style. This helps to avoid plagiarism as well. We will check all sections as well as bibliography for the citation style.
