AUTHOR'S ENGLISH WRTING GUIDE

eWorld formatting of papers for specific journals

eWorld expert native English-speaking science editors are on hand to help you format your paper for the journal of your choice. Formatting specifics include the following:

 

1) All aspects of a paper are subject to the specific requirements of each journal and include duplicate/prior/overlapping submissions, conflict of interest and disclosure policies, formatting of funding sources, authorship criteria, acknowledgements, ORCID IDs for authors, ethical approval of studies, reporting guidelines, clinical trial registration, manuscript preparation, cover letters, potential reviewers, title page format, abbreviations and acronyms, laboratory values, database linking, permissions, article types accepted, open access policies, and submission and decision procedures.

 

2) Key guidelines include the numbers of words permitted for Titles, Abstracts, and main text and the numbers of figures, tables, appendices, and references permitted.

 

3) Specific formats required for figures, tables, and appendices are explained. 4) Many journals ask that references, including inline citations, be in one of the commonly used reference styles such as Vancouver, AMA, and other standard formats.

 

These styles are available in automatic reference management software, including Endnote, Mendeley, and Zotero, as well as native Word formatting in the References tab of your Word document. These programs allow researchers to insert inline citations and create bibliographies as they write their manuscripts. These can be easily edited and updated if needed, saving a lot of time. https://www.g2.com/categories/reference-management provides a detailed list of these programs. eWorld recommends the Endnote and Mendeley programs.

 

If researchers prefer to have eWorld experts format their inline citations and references, that can be done at additional cost.

 

5) Placement of text in journal templates. Often journals ask that researchers submit their papers in journal-specific templates that are supplied on journal websites. eWorld editors can do this task for you when you supply the name of your selected journal.

 

Our expert editors can assess the time needed to complete the formatting required by the authors’ selected journal, and we will provide the most affordable options for formatting your paper.
