Referencing Check

What we check

Referencing is one of the easiest places to lose marks, and one of the easiest to fix.

In-text citations

Author, year and page numbers in the right format for your style, including "et al." and multiple authors.

Reference list or bibliography

Order, punctuation, italics, URLs and access dates, following your university's version of the style.

Citation-to-reference matching

Every citation has a reference entry and every entry is cited. Orphans and missing sources are listed.

Quotations and secondary sources

Quotes with page numbers, and "cited in" references used correctly.

OSCOLA footnotes for law

Cases, legislation, pinpoints, ibid and the table of authorities.

Source quality

Non-academic, outdated or unverifiable sources that may weaken your argument.

What you get back

Corrections you can apply quickly, and understand for next time.

  • Every citation and reference checked, with errors highlighted
  • Comments showing the correct format for each type of error
  • A list of missing and orphan references
  • Notes on weak or non-academic sources worth replacing

Example feedback (illustrative)
Remote work can improve productivity (Smith, 2020). According to bloom et al 2015 workers were 13% more productive.

Reference list:
Smith, J. Remote work. 2020.
In-text citation (Harvard)

Capitalise the author and put the year in brackets: Bloom et al. (2015). Add a page number if you quote the figure directly.

Reference list entry

Incomplete. Harvard needs the author, year in brackets, title in italics, place and publisher. Bloom et al. (2015) is also missing from the list.

Academic integrity

Feedback on your work, never a replacement for it

Every check is designed to help you improve the draft you wrote, in line with UK law and your university's rules.

What we do

  • Review the draft you wrote and explain our feedback in plain English
  • Show where your work falls short of the brief, rubric or style guide
  • Suggest how to improve, with examples and sentence frames you adapt yourself
  • Respect your university's academic integrity and AI-use policies

What we don't do

  • Write, rewrite or complete any part of your assessed work
  • Submit work on your behalf or log in to your university systems
  • Guarantee a grade or a similarity score
  • Disguise AI-generated text or help bypass detection tools

Referencing Check: frequently asked questions

Which referencing styles do you check?

Harvard (including Cite Them Right and university-specific versions), APA 7th edition, OSCOLA, MHRA, Vancouver and Chicago. Send your module's style guide so we check against the exact version your marker uses.

Do you correct my references for me?

We mark each error and show the correct format with an example. You apply the corrections, which also helps you learn the style for future assignments.

Can you check OSCOLA footnotes?

Yes. We check case citations, legislation, pinpoint references, ibid use, footnote punctuation and your bibliography or table of authorities.

Will a referencing check lower my similarity score?

Correct quoting and citation makes it clear which material is attributed, which markers look for when reading a similarity report. We do not aim to change a score; we help you reference accurately.

How is this different from a referencing generator?

Generators format what you type in, including your mistakes. An expert checks that the right sources are cited in the right places, that nothing is missing and that the format matches your university's guide.

How long does a referencing check take?

Usually 24–48 hours. Long dissertations may take a little longer; we confirm the turnaround before you book.
