Meet style requirements
Different manuscripts require different reference styles – but editing and formatting reference lists to a specific style is a lot of work! Edifix helps out by automatically formatting reference entries to any of a wide variety of popular styles.

Using a patented set of fuzzy-matching heuristics, Edifix can automate linking even for
references that contain inaccuracies and automatically correct those errors.
Link (and correct) damaged references
Edifix can even link references that are missing vital pieces of information! As shown to the right, this reference:
