Academic Paper Formatter

Fix Citations in Seconds, Not Hours

Citation formatting is the most tedious part of academic writing. Every journal and professor has different requirements — APA wants (Author, Year), MLA wants (Author page), Chicago wants footnotes. Getting it wrong can cost you marks or a desk rejection.

FixMyDocs reads your entire paper, identifies every citation and reference, and converts them to your chosen format. It catches inconsistencies that manual checking misses: missing page numbers, incorrect capitalization in titles, improperly formatted DOIs, and mismatched in-text citations to reference list entries.

Three Citation Styles, One Tool

APA 7th Edition

The standard for psychology, education, and social sciences. Our AI ensures proper (Author, Year) in-text format, hanging-indent References section, DOI formatting as clickable URLs, and correct handling of multiple authors (et al. rules).

MLA 9th Edition

Used in humanities, literature, and language studies. We format (Author page) parenthetical citations, generate a proper Works Cited page, handle containers (anthologies, websites), and ensure correct punctuation placement.

Chicago 17th Edition

Preferred in history, art, and publishing. Our tool formats footnotes/endnotes with proper numbering, creates a Bibliography section, and handles the difference between notes-bibliography and author-date styles.

Beyond Citations: Full Academic Polish

Academic writing requires more than correct citations. Our Academic Workspace includes tools to improve your paper's tone, eliminating casual language like "a lot" or "basically" and replacing it with precise, discipline-appropriate vocabulary. It adds hedging language where claims need qualification and ensures consistent formal register throughout.

The Structure Paper tool reorganizes your content into the standard academic hierarchy: Abstract, Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. It identifies sections that are misplaced or missing and suggests where content should be moved for logical flow.
