In this paper we study the problem of prescribing fractional Q-curvature of order 2σ for a conformal metric on the standard sphere \Sn with σ∈ (0,n/2) and n≥2. Compactness and existence results are obtained in terms of the flatness order β of the prescribed curvature function K. Making use of integral representations and perturbation result, we develop a unified approach to obtain these results when β∈ [n-2σ,n) for all σ∈ (0,n/2). This work generalizes the corresponding results of Jin-Li-Xiong [Math. Ann. 369: 109--151, 2017] for β∈ (n-2σ,n).
