Yes. If you require us to edit your reference list or bibliography, we will crosscheck your reference list or bibliography with your in-text citations, footnotes or endnotes to ensure that each citation corresponds to a referenced source, and vice versa. We will edit your references to ensure that they are correct, consistent and complete, including locating and including missing source information where possible.

Yes. We provide publication-ready formatting services. Just select the Formatting product and add-to-cart. Our exceptional attention to detail in academic editing also applies to the appearance of your document, which ensures that your research is presented in the best possible light, follows all required formatting guidelines and is ready for submission or publication. Tweaks provides the highest-quality formatting service available.

We also offer flexible formatting options, as follows:

• If you require a specific formatting style, we can apply that to your document (e.g. APA).
• If you are happy with the style you have used and would like us to check it for consistency throughout your document, we can do that.
• If you have no preferred formatting style, we can apply our house style, which has been specially designed for academic documents.

As professional editors, we strictly adhere to all relevant guidelines, including The South African Guild of Editors (SAGE), Professional Editors’ Guild (PEG), South African National Editors’ Forum (SANEF) and The Southern African Freelancers’ Association (SAFREA). Where a client has been asked to follow any university-, journal- or publisher-specific guidelines, we will closely read and follow those as well.

Universities require that postgraduate theses meet international publication standards and this can only be achieved through professional editing, regardless of the quality of your writing. Clients who are exceptional academic writers are often surprised at just how much their thesis is improved by Tweak’s editing service.

After researching and writing such a long document over many years, you can easily become blind to errors, inconsistencies and areas of potential improvement in your own work. A new set of eyes, especially those of a highly experienced professional, can catch all these issues for you. With the help of Tweaks, you can be 100% confident that your thesis will be polished and well presented.
