I am looking up a software which prepare manuscript formatting of the journals, I mean I have a manuscript and for submitting to any journal I have to change the format of references, citations, heads/subheads and so on in the text.
Dear Md. Ariful Islam Arif,
Thank you very much for your answer. Sure, Latex can help me. But, I mean I prepared a paper by Latex, for a specific journal I should change the format and it will take time to do.
Kind regards,

Dear M. J. Ebadi
You should use LATEX to prepare your manuscript for any international journal. Its easy. International journal provide sample file format.
To use LATEX, you can try TeXstudio. (http://www.texstudio.org/). I'm using it in LINUX (arch linux).
I've seen somewhere a link to http://typeset.io which claims to do just what you ask for (for a fee, as far as I understand) but have no first-hand experience with them, so no idea how good their services are.
To order the bibliography I recommend Zotero
https://www.zotero.org/
It is easy, simple and you can write the bibliography according to the style of the journal.

Dear Ruben Arriazu,

Even such an ingenious thing as LaTeX is not able to envisage the whims of all editors. You'll have to work with the file anyway. And if you are in love to LaTeX, this work will also bring you pleasure. So, this is my advice: be in love to LaTeX, and all will be fine!
Dear Aslanbek Naziev,
Thank you very much for your valuable answer.

As you know, many journals provide a LaTeX template file or a LaTex class file (.cls file) which represents the journal style. Therefore, you just need to copy you article into the journal’s style files. But you still need to change the format of references. This is a hard but one-time work if you use BiBTeX. This gadget enables you to accumulate all you references in a single (.bib) file and to change the style of you references easily. Using these tools, "submission" and “rejection” would be less bitter! Astonishingly, It is possible to use BibTeX outside of a LaTeX-Environment, namely Microsoft Word using Bibshare. But if you are seeking a way to change the formatting of a paper typeset in Microsoft Word, my answer is: “I don’t know”.
Maybe this helps, it's an AI algorithm that prepares a draft of a scientific paper: https://scinote.net/manuscript-writer/
Agree about LaTeX, but also I will recommend The SciFlow text editor:
https://www.sciflow.net/en/
In short:
- The SciFlow text editor was developed with researchers in mind. Focus on your content - not on formatting;
- SciFlow allows all co-authors to collaborate within one document - without email and version chaos ;
- You are able to import your references to SciFlow and share them with co-authors across the document;
- Scientific manuscript templates, Journal templates;
- SciFlow supports exports to standard Word, LaTeX, PDF and HTML file format.
I think no software that could help to reformat your paper according to the template. You have to do it manually with templates of that journal.
If you use Latex for written the manuscript, you can do that very easy.
I agree with Ramin Javahershenas . There is no any specific software to write your manuscript as per a journal requirement. Latex is helpful for document preparation, mendeley, endnotes are the software's to help create references only. Manuscript formatting of journals differ in all the journals. M. J. Ebadi
I am using Endnote to manage my references. The hardest part in changing the format of manuscript from one journal to another is the rearrangement of references. Endnote makes this process really easier. Templates for almost all the journals are available in Endnote, you just have to chose the required journal and within 2 minutes Endnote changes the formatting of your paper. I am using Endnote 7 currently for my manuscripts. I hope this answers your questions
The problem is that the specific journal has its own format and guidelines to follow,some recommend Microsoft words which is easy for editors,others recommend latex.But still you have to go forward!!
