Professional academic editing and publication support for researchers and authors

Formatting & Artwork Editing

Journal-specific formatting and artwork checks for manuscripts, references, tables, figures, captions, and supporting files.

Service overview

Consistent files aligned with journal instructions

Formatting & Artwork Editing prepares the manuscript and visual materials according to the target journal’s published instructions. The service standardises headings, citations, references, tables, captions, units, numbering, and layout, and checks artwork for visible technical requirements such as file type, dimensions, resolution, and labelling.

What this service includes

  • Journal-specific manuscript and reference formatting
  • Table, figure, caption, and numbering consistency
  • Artwork file type, size, resolution, and label checks
  • Title page, declarations, and supporting-file organisation

Our four-step workflow

Collect journal instructions

We confirm the target journal, article type, reference style, artwork guidance, and required submission files.

Format the manuscript

Headings, citations, references, tables, captions, units, spacing, and page elements are standardised.

Standardise visual elements

Figures and tables are checked for naming, numbering, legibility, labels, captions, and stated technical specifications.

Run a final consistency check

The formatted files are reviewed against the journal instructions and organised for author approval.

What you receive

A journal-formatted manuscript, organised artwork files, and a checklist noting any technical issue that requires the author or original designer to resolve.

Discuss your manuscript

Provide the manuscript, target-journal link, reference style, figure and table count, source artwork files, and deadline.
