Essential guidance
How tracked changes work
Proposed changes remain visible for the author to accept or reject. Comments identify questions, inconsistencies or decisions that require author judgement.
Preparing for referencing review
Supply the required style guide, complete reference list and source details. A reference audit cannot verify missing or inaccessible evidence reliably.
Final submission responsibility
The author remains responsible for factual accuracy, data, interpretations, originality and compliance with institutional academic-integrity rules.
