FAQ

Most journal manuscripts (3,000-8,000 words) turn around in a few days on standard timing. Full dissertations take longer. Get an estimate on the pricing page, or ask for a rush turnaround if you're close to a deadline.

Yes, within the bounds your institution sets. Language editing that corrects grammar and clarity without changing your findings, methods, or arguments is standard academic practice and is explicitly permitted by most universities and journals. What isn't acceptable anywhere is having someone else generate your ideas or results. If you're unsure where your institution draws that line, check your handbook or ask your supervisor before commissioning an edit. I'm glad to work within whatever those rules require.

A properly scoped language edit (grammar, clarity, formatting) doesn't show up as a red flag anywhere, because it isn't academic misconduct. It changes wording, not authorship or content. If your institution requires disclosure of editing assistance, follow that requirement; most that do only ask for a brief acknowledgment, not a rejection of the document.

Yes. Full documents you send through the pricing form or Start a Project are stored securely and used only to prepare your edit. They are never sent to the AI tools on this site. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Yes. That's a separate, smaller tool. It's capped at 250 words and sends only what you paste into it to a third-party AI model (via OpenRouter) as a style preview, with an on-screen consent checkbox before anything is sent. Don't paste unpublished or identifying content into that demo; use Start a Project for a real, confidential edit instead.

See the AI-content editing and Turnitin similarity reduction service page for what's included and what this service does and doesn't do.
