Academic Writing
Our consultants will assist you in writing, formatting and researching academic papers and theses.
We will follow any globally accepted citation style, or adapt to the one prescribed by your academic institution. Most commonly you would need one of the following schemes:
- APA Style, Harvard Style
“American Psychological Association (APA) style is a widely accepted style of documentation, particularly in the social sciences. APA style specifies the names and order of headings, formatting, and organization of citations and references, and the arrangement of tables, figures, footnotes, and appendices, as well as other manuscript and documentation features. APA style uses the author-date style of parenthetical referencing, with such source citations keyed to a subsequent list of “References.” Also known as the Harvard Style.” (From the APA Style website)
- Chicago Manual of Style, CMS
“The Chicago Manual of Style (abbreviated in writing as CMS or CMOS, or verbally as Chicago) is a style guide for American English published since 1906 by the University of Chicago Press. Its 15 editions have prescribed writing and citation styles widely used in publishing. The CMS deals with aspects of editorial practice, from American English grammar and usage to document preparation.” (From the Chicago Manual of Style Online)
- MLA Style
“All fields of research agree on the need to document scholarly borrowings, but documentation conventions vary because of the different needs of scholarly disciplines. MLA style for documentation is widely used in the humanities, especially in writing on language and literature. Generally simpler and more concise than other styles, MLA style features brief parenthetical citations in the text keyed to an alphabetical list of works cited that appears at the end of the work.” (From the Modern Language Association website)
From an ethics point of view, we will not be able to ghostwrite an entire thesis for you but we can nevertheless assist you in all aspects of academic writing – from research design and choosing the appropriate references to clarifying the arguments and focusing your discussion.
