Read review on TrustpilotExcellent citation generator. Professor's praise my citations.
Read review on TrustpilotThis really helped me show how to cite in exactly MLA format that is super reliable.
Read review on TrustpilotTeilweise sind die Informationen noch etwas zu ungenau.
Read review on TrustpilotThe site made citing sources in MLA style much easier than trying to format them without assistance! It really was a time saver.
Read review on TrustpilotWar alles top und hat mir sehr weitergeholfen mit meiner Forschungsarbeit, grammatikalisch war es einwandfrei und auch der Rote-Faden-Check hat mir wertvolle Erkenntnisse gegeben, an welche ich gar nicht gedacht habe. Der 24h-Stunden Service wurde auch fristgerecht eingehalten, da zwei Autoren Arbeit jeweils zur Hälfte bearbeitet haben. Ich würde für die Zukunft aber empfehlen, den Check von einem Autor durchführen zu lassen. Für wirklich kurzfristige Arbeiten, war dies trotzdem sehr hilfreich. Auch die Korrektur des Zitierstils war einheitlich und hat meine Erwartungen erfüllt.
Read review on TrustpilotUseful website. Love the APA citation generator and have used that religiously throughout my degree.
Read review on Trustpilotdas Team ist zuverlässig , super pünktlich , diskret und mega kompetent ❤️
Read review on TrustpilotMeine Bachelor-Arbeit wurde zuverlässig und mit vielen hilfreichen Kommentaren korrigiert. Die insgesamt über 1000 Kommentare konnte ich jeweils annehmen oder bearbeiten, am Ende habe ich mit 1.6 erfolgreich bestanden. Meine Hochschule ist in den Zitier-Richtlinien leider nicht so ins Detail gegangen, wie ich es mir gewünscht hätte und bei Arbeiten zuvor hat mich die Rätselei meist 2 Nachmittage (studiere nebenberuflich) gekostet. Ein bisschen ärgere ich mich, nicht zuvor zu Scribbr gegriffen zu haben. Gerade für eine Hausarbeit hätte es wenig gekostet und das Wissen wäre auch in den Hausarbeiten danach anwendbar. Die Korrektur reiche ich jetzt mit der Steuer ein :)
Read review on TrustpilotI don't know if I would have completed my degree program without Scribbr. The site helped me keep my references organized by topic, formatted everything APA style for me, and made it easy to copy and paste into my final reference list with just a couple of clicks. I can't even calculate how much time this site saved me just in keeping everything in order.
Read review on Trustpilotsehr hilfreiche Kommentare, welche die Lesbarkeit der Arbeit deutlich verbessert haben
Read review on TrustpilotMy favorite citation website. Easy to navigate, quick and free - will always recommend!!!!
Read review on TrustpilotThe absolute best and most accurate service. I wish I had discovered Scribbr sooner. When I got my 137 page white paper back, I had o my one question and they answered that right away for me. My document was accepted first time. Scribbr also explains their edits and recommendation to you and educating you in the process. The best service and superior in all ways to other services I have used.

Yes! This is the “editing” in Scribbr’s standard service. It can only be selected in combination with proofreading. |
