Manuscript and References Formatting

Formatting your paper to match your target journal guidelines became an essential requirement. It means preparing the paper according to the journal set of styles, layout, figures, tables, citations, and references [1]. 

Authors should revise the journal guidelines prior to submitting their papers. The wrong formatting may be a reason for a direct rejection by the journal’s editorial office [2].  This is a very time-consuming and hectic process. So, we are offering this service to help you relieve these extra burdens.
