APA style editing and proofreading services

Our team of experienced APA editors is on hand 24/7/365 to assist you with your editing and proofreading needs. Whether you’re working on essays, academic papers, journal manuscripts, or other types of scholarly documents, we’ve got you covered. Specializing in the APA style, our editors are well-versed in the intricate details of this formatting approach, ensuring that your paper adheres rigorously to APA guidelines. They focus on various elements of APA style including in-text citations, reference lists, running headers, and the proper use of tables and figures. Their comprehensive understanding of APA rules ensures that your paper will be formatted correctly, from the title page to the appendix.

APA style

APA format is governed by the seventh edition of The Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association, an authoritative style guide penned by the American Psychological Association (APA). The Publication Manual is a go-to standard for academic citation and paper structuring, not only in psychology but also across a broad range of disciplines within the social sciences. Its guidelines help standardise the presentation of research findings, making it easier for both writers and readers to follow complex scholarly works.

Because of its widespread use, APA style ranks as one of our most frequently requested formatting options. To meet this demand, we maintain a team of editors who possess a wealth of experience in rigorously applying APA style guidelines. Their expertise covers everything from in-text citations and reference lists to the precise layout of tables, figures, and appendices. If your university department demands APA formatting or you’re targeting a journal that requires this specific style, just indicate that on the order form. We’re fully equipped to handle your APA formatting needs and would be delighted to assist you.

APA 6th & 7th Edition editing

APA 6th edition and 7th edition style guidelines seek to establish standards of written communication with regard to:

  • Content organisation
  • Writing style and tone
  • Referencing and citation of sources
  • Presentation of statistics
  • Inclusive language
  • Manuscript preparation for publication

Accurate corrections

“I had the goal of being published in a specific leading journal in my field before I began my research. I was aware that they required APA style so I used a book to help me to try and follow this format in my writing. Cambridge Proofreading fixed this for me.”

Dr. Martinez, Mexico City

APA formatted

“Trying to adhere to APA style was very stressful for me. Now I have your APA editors to help me I feel much more relaxed.”

 

Vladimir, University of Liverpool

A reasonable price

“Finding a proofreader that works to the APA style guidelines at a reasonable price is not easy. They tend to be a lot more expensive than other normal proofreading services. Fortunately, Cambridge offers this at their standard price. I found their editing to be very satisfactory.”

Yifan, Hong Kong Polytechnic University
