FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our editing and proofreading services.

At Lexic Editing, we provide comprehensive academic editing services for researchers, scholars, and graduate students. Our team works on a wide range of academic documents, including journal articles, dissertations, theses, research proposals, conference papers, and book chapters across all disciplines. Whether you’re preparing a manuscript for publication or refining a major research project, we ensure your writing is clear, polished, and ready for submission. Our editors are experienced in various academic styles and fields, helping you meet the formatting, language, and structural standards required by journals and institutions worldwide.

Once you submit your document and complete payment, your order is assigned to an editor with expertise in your subject area. The process unfolds in several stages:

1. Initial Review — Your editor reads through the entire document to understand your argument, identify recurring issues, and note any discipline-specific conventions to follow.

2. Language & Style Editing — Grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and word choice are refined for clarity and precision. Awkward phrasing is rewritten, overly complex sentences are simplified, and vocabulary is elevated where appropriate — all while preserving your academic voice.

3. Flow & Coherence — Transitions between sentences and paragraphs are improved so your argument reads logically and cohesively from start to finish.

4. Formatting & Consistency — Headings, citations, reference style (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.), capitalization, and number formatting are reviewed for consistency throughout.

5. Final Proofread — A final pass catches any remaining typos or errors before delivery.

You receive your document with tracked changes enabled (in Word format), so you can accept, reject, or review every edit. An editor's summary note is also included, briefly explaining the main changes made and any areas that may need your attention.

Turnaround depends on the service level selected. Standard is 5–7 business days, Express is 48 hours, and Rush is 24 hours. Exact deadlines are shown before checkout.

Yes. Every completed order includes a digitally verifiable Certificate of Professional Editing that you can submit alongside your manuscript.

We accept .docx, .doc, .pdf, .tex, and .txt files. For the best editing experience we recommend .docx so tracked changes can be returned.

Absolutely. All documents are treated with strict confidentiality. We do not share, publish, or use your work for any purpose other than editing.
