The Challenge: Why Formatting Is a Difficulty for PhD Scholars
Formatting is more than just a matter of appearance—it is about compliance, specificity, and presentation. Many PhD students deal with:
• Limited time to make each detail match the journal's author guidelines
• Unfamiliarity with constantly changing citation styles and reference managers
• Resubmitting numerous times because all but one formatting and referencing detail was missed
• Inconsistency with tables, figures, headings, and references
With experiments, data collection, and proposals on your plate, outsourcing your formatting and referencing tasks through Formatting Service for Manuscript is not just practical; it's necessary.
