APA 7 Editing

This formatting edit will focus on ensuring that the manuscript complies with APA 7 guidelines. During the APA 7 edit, I will review the following:

  • In-text citations to verify their correct placement and format.

  • APA headings to ensure proper structure throughout the document.

  • The table of contents to confirm that it accurately reflects the sections of the paper.

  • The references section to ensure that all sources cited in the text are correctly included and formatted according to APA 7 rules.

This service is commonly used by individuals completing a thesis, dissertation, capstone, or research project. However, anyone can use the full editing service.
