Marks, and sometimes a desk rejection, turn on getting the referencing style exactly right. The Referencing service formats your in-text citations, footnotes and numbered references to that style, whether OSCOLA, Harvard, APA, PELJ, Vancouver or another, and rebuilds a correctly sorted bibliography or reference list. Your words are left alone.
R4 per page, R150 minimum. Citations and bibliography brought into line with your required style. No language editing of your prose.
We take the citations you have already written, bring each one into line with your style, and build the reference list to match.
Author, title, year, pinpoint and punctuation are set out as the guide requires. Ibid, short forms and cross-references are kept consistent throughout.
For Vancouver and other numbered systems, references are numbered in order of first appearance, the numbers in the text are matched to the list, and the list is laid out as the journal specifies.
Rebuilt to the style: ordered as the guide requires, de-duplicated, grouped where the style asks for it (cases, legislation, books, articles), with consistent hanging indents.
We format to the style your faculty or journal requires, with particular depth in South African law-journal styles. If your guide is not listed, send it with your document and we will work to it.
Footnote, author–date and numbered styles we format to every day, among others.
House styles and supervisor-specific requirements are welcome. Send the guide with your document and we will format to it.

Four steps from upload to formatted file.
Upload your Word file with your citations and references as you have written them, and tell us your required style: OSCOLA, Harvard, APA, PELJ, Vancouver and others.
We identify every footnote, in-text citation and reference-list entry in your document, even where the formatting is currently inconsistent.
Citations and footnotes are reformatted to the guide, numbered systems are renumbered in order, and your bibliography is rebuilt, sorted and de-duplicated.
Your Word document comes back with citations and reference list in your required style, with a short note if any reference is missing detail you need to supply.
Your documents are treated as strictly confidential and are never shared.
One per-page rate for the whole job.
Every word counts toward the page count, footnotes included, and there is no footnote surcharge. The price is calculated at checkout from the length of your document, so you see the quote before you decide.
You get back one consistently referenced file: footnotes and in-text citations in your style, and a sorted bibliography to match.
