Reference Checking FAQ

Service Questions

Q:What happens if you find a citation that has no bibliography entry?

We highlight the citation in your text and place a comment request. If possible, we attempt to search scholarly databases to locate the correct source based on your text and fill it in automatically.

Q:Do you fix the formatting of the references?

While Reference Checking validates correctness, database matches, and completeness, our Reference List Editing or Document Formatting services specialize in correcting layout and styling of bibliography entries. We recommend combining these services.

Q:Is this service useful for legal citations (e.g., Bluebook)?

Yes, we have specialists trained in legal citation styles including Bluebook and ALWD, validating case citations, statutes, and electronic law journals.
