APA Thesis Journal Formatting

My Ph.D’s thesis in Tourism and Hospitality is complete; what it still needs is the meticulous, journal-ready presentation the editors demand. The target outlet specifies APA throughout, so every heading level, in-text citation, table, figure, reference entry, and even the abstract’s word count must mirror their guidelines precisely.

Here’s what I expect from you:
• Re-structure and format the entire document in Microsoft Word (or LaTeX if you prefer, as long as the final file is a Word-compatible manuscript) so it passes the journal’s technical check on first upload.
• Ensure consistent styles for headings, sub-headings, block quotes, bullet points, and numbered lists.
• Re-label and position tables and figures per APA, updating cross-references accordingly.
• Build or overhaul the reference list so it’s fully APA-compliant and alphabetised.
• Provide a clean final file plus one tracked-changes version so I can see what you adjusted.

Acceptance criteria
1. The manuscript uploads to the journal portal without formatting warnings.
2. All references and in-text citations match APA 7th edition.
3. Pagination, margins, and section order follow the journal’s “Instructions for Authors.”

No rewriting, proofreading, or data analysis is needed—just flawless formatting and structure. If you are comfortable navigating strict APA requirements and understand the nuances of academic publishing in hospitality research, I’d love to work with you.
