Some of my submitted manuscripts (5) got rejected by the journals, and want to submit into another journal, but I do not have enough time to format. If any one can provide me with the soft ware for that purpose, I will be very grateful. TQ
Endnote will take care of all of the style changes for the references both within the text and the references section of the manuscript. Other formatting changes are done manually. It is often easier if submitting to a journal that will reformat the manuscript to match journal style as opposed to a journal that wants submissions "camera ready." Some journals will take almost anything that is well structured and consistent, and afterwards (if accepted) will ask for some style changes to better fit journal formatting style. Some journals will want British versus American spelling, but MS Word can be changed to use different dictionary. After selecting the correct dictionary, look for words underlined in red in the text.
I used ProCite for a little while. https://www.dataone.org/software-tools/procite
There is also RefWorks. http://www.proquest.com/products-services/refworks.html
This is an important choice. I started with Endnote. I tried using Procite for a while. At a couple of hundred references it became too difficult to have multiple bibliography programs. I am used to Endnote. I have been with them for 30 years, my bibliography is at about 10,000 references. Endnote has a large library of preexisting formats that can be downloaded from the web. A number of journals have Endnote formats available for that journal somewhere in the instructions to authors. I like that Endnote integrates with Microsoft Word as the "Cite while you write" feature. Like all large programs with many bells and whistles, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out how to do something. Of course it is easy once you find the right sub-sub-sub menu. The few times that I have had to deal with the company they have been helpful.
Endnote is not free, but it is reasonably priced in my opinion. It saves a great deal of time (though I would guess this applies to any of these programs). The advantage is that you can rapidly change citation formats. The other advantage is (at least with Endnote) that you add text, and Endnote changes the bibliography. If you delete text (and that text contains the only reference to an article), then the citation is removed. I used to have to read through papers multiple times to make sure that everything I cited was in the bibliography, and there were no articles in the bibliography that did not have a citation. If I (or a reviewer) finds an error, I correct it in Endnote and that correction is permanent for all papers from that point onwards.
My current biggest issue is that importing citations from other places can result in titles that have different formats. I haven't figured out how to get Endnote to put all titles in sentence format. Sometimes they appear in all capitol letters, or every word is capitalized.
Referencing is the biggest problem in the manuscript. I am using endnote for that. it is extremely useful when manuscripts gets rejected. some time one can use free mendeley software for importing reference directly form pdf.
As in this case, even manuscript styles can create problems to some extent, unless there is no drastic change in word limits. moreover we have to read entire length of author guidelines for formatting the manuscript
There are manuscript Templates available in endnote, that may help.
I only wish, all the journal used universal style.
Although I would never rely on any software for formatting purpose, but the information regarding such software could be helpful for me someday (probably).
To all the people answering here, the lady wanted an answer to a question nobody understood. She is not interested in knowing about the references. All she wants is to know how to align an entire manuscript (Heading style, sub-heading style, size, numberings, no numberings, etc.) according to different journal style without having to do it manually. Even typeset does not provide that facility. Each time one has to use Typeset as a word doc and write according to a new journal again. there is no automated way to change an already written document style on Typeset (especially if it has been written on MS Word). Also, MS word has no special journal templates as one person kindly suggested.
Others have mentioned https://typeset.io, which you should be able to copy and paste the text into their templates to auto-format it. I haven't used it, so I can't comment on it.
BUT if you write your manuscripts using LaTeX or other similar typesetting programs (they are free too!), you have the option to choose different "styling templates" just by changing a few variables in the main file. Many major journals have free LaTeX templates available that will automatically format your manuscript including references to their specifications.
My recommendation:
Overleaf.com is a cloud-based LaTeX typesetting company that is free and pretty easy to use when getting started. I would recommend using them instead of installing and managing everything locally on a computer.
There is a bit of a learning curve to use the software, but once you understand it, it can really be a time saver - especially for reformatting. Hope that helps. Cheers-
