How our reading committee selects documents

Our reading committee selects documents according to strict and detailed selection criteria. The following guidelines will give you an insight into the types and forms of documents you can submit.


Accepted formats

The formats accepted by Writrs.com are the following: .doc, .rtf, .xls, .pdf, .zip. If you cannot convert your documents into one of these extensions, please indicate this to us by noting it clearly at the beginning of the description of your text: our reading committee will take care of the conversion.

Note: Users of the new version of Office (2007) can save their files under .doc format (instead of .docx by default) by clicking on the tab "File" then selecting "Save as". This will allow users of former versions of Office to read your papers.


Content

Do not send papers without real, structured, finished content (lists, notes, incomplete drafts...) The reading committee usually refuses documents of less than 2 pages, except if the content is considered to be particularly pertinent.


Spelling / syntax / style

Your paper must be well-written and error-free to be accepted online. Style is an essential selection criterion but it is also important to ensure that your spelling, grammar and punctuation are correct.


Writing and abbreviations

The reading committee does not accept documents written only in note form. Documents written in an informal or abbreviated text message style will not be accepted. For example: "u" for "you" etc. Spell words out fully unless a recognized acronym or abbreviation is appropriate.


Presentation

Clear, neat presentation facilitates the reader's comprehension of your document so please ensure that your text is well laid out as this is an important factor in the selection process.

Do not hesitate to highlight the titles and subtitles of your texts by using bold, italics, underlining or colour. We would also suggest that you use either Verdana or Times New Roman fonts in 12pt.


References to appendices

If your paper refers to appendices they must be included in your file, otherwise your document will be refused automatically.
Moreover, if your paper is a commentary on an extract of a text you should include the extract in your file so that the reading committee can display it on the presentation page.


Bibliography and sources

Indicate your sources at the end of your document.
This is of utmost importance: Firstly, your sources allow the reading committee to check whether or not there are plagiarized passages in the submitted text and secondly they provide the reader with additional references.

Guidelines for submitting your papers

Plagiarism

Please don't waste time copying existing documents from the Internet or books.
We spend time checking whether texts are authentic and original, our reputation depends on this. Documents are submitted to anti-plagiarism software such as Turnitin. If we discover plagiarized material, your account will be deactivated and any further submissions will be refused automatically.


File size

There is no size limit. However, the uploading process may be interrupted if your file exceeds a certain size (> 10 Mo in general) or if you have a low speed Internet connection. If the process fails, contact our support team and we will find a solution.


Naming your files

Avoid giving file names that are too long. We strongly advise you to avoid using punctuation points such as apostrophes or inverted commas in your file names.


Category

Select the most appropriate category for your document and feel free to suggest new ones.


Title

Choose a title that is as detailed as possible and accurately reflects the content of your paper.


Summary

This is one of the most important elements, as our presentation of your document on Writrs.com will be based upon it. Please take some time to prepare it properly. A comprehensive, well-written summary ensures that potential buyers have an accurate overview of your document's content and whether it corresponds to their research requirements. Adapt it from the introduction or abstract of your work.


Table of contents

In order to save our support team time and to ensure that your document gets processed as quickly as possible, it is important to indicate the table of contents of your paper when sending it. Please follow these instructions:
- Make sure you separate the subtitles from your titles so as to improve clarity
- Do not leave page numbers at the end of lines (they are automatically deleted)
- Specify if your paper includes an introduction and/or a conclusion and a bibliography.


Number of pages submitted

If your paper includes 4 complete pages, indicate "4". When evaluating the number of pages, we use a 12pt Times New Roman text without line spacing as a reference (approximately 300 words per page). If your paper includes 3 pages but the last one contains only a few lines, it is wiser to indicate "2".

Uploading time

After selecting the documents you wish to submit, wait for the end of the uploading process (required to send your file to our server). If you exit the page before unloading is complete we will not receive your submission.
