What should a student check before submitting a research paper?

I’m preparing my first research paper for submission, and I’m a little confused about the final steps. I’ve checked the references and formatting, but I’m not sure if I’ve followed all the journal guidelines correctly.

While looking for advice, I came across best journal publication services. Has anyone here used them before? I’d like to know if they actually help with things like formatting, journal selection, and submission, or if it’s better for a student to handle everything independently.
