It was a pleasure to work with Dr Russell Patrick Brown on refining his PhD dissertation. At Lex Academic, we take pride in delivering meticulous, expert editorial support. We are delighted that his dissertation was passed without corrections. An outstanding result. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Our free Blog & Resources archive allows you to explore interviews, opinion pieces, and how-to guides designed to help academic researchers understand and surmount what they are up against in the process of academic peer review, and academia more broadly. www.lexacademic.com/blog

www.lexacademic.com/blog/ A nice blog about doing a Phd, working in academia, writing, etc, - really capturing the kind of conversations I have with my Phd students and colleauges. If you want to know more about the academic work, or get another perspective; check it out. @lexacademic.bsky.social

With many PhD students looking to submit their dissertations in March 2024, it seems timely to share our advice on avoiding major corrections from the doctoral examination. #PhDChat #AcademicChatter #PhDLife www.lexacademic.com/blog/how-com...

"We all end up writing emails at times we shouldn't. But emailing at all hours makes a mockery of the boundary between work and life." In this blog post, we explore how to manage email during times when we would be better off away from our screens. www.lexacademic.com/blog/how-to-...

This is very true! Often hits home when I read the acknowledgment section of PhD theses

For some academics – especially first-generation academics – returning home can mean encountering a family that has no idea what you do, or what the point of your research is. Why did you dedicate your life to studying the bubbles in washing up liquid? www.lexacademic.com/blog/tis-the...

We are honoured and delighted to receive a five-star review from RiOLG Prof. Dr. Saskia Lettmaier. It was a true pleasure to collaborate with Prof. Dr. Lettmaier on the intricate legal indexes for her monograph with Mohr Siebeck.

We are proud to contribute to NTU’s commitment to innovation and intellectual advancement by ensuring their academic output meets the highest standards.

As Hannah Laurens argues, a truly outstanding #PhD is one that stands out owing to its original insight. An outstanding PhD is one that pushes boundaries, posits new challenges, and possibly even presents a view that turns things upside down. www.lexacademic.com/blog/passing...

I keep hearing people say that in the digital age, it’s no longer important for books to have an index. I don’t get that at all—there are so many things you can easily find in a good index, but not in a searchable ebook or PDF! Examples are in the comments below (feel free to add more). #AcademicSky

Receiving major corrections presents a much-feared outcome for doctoral candidates. Before we think about how #majorcorrections can be avoided, it is worth addressing the fear itself by understanding the mechanism they are part of. www.lexacademic.com/blog/how-com... #PhDChat #PhDone

"If universities operate at all on the basis of free labour, this must be considered a system failure." In our latest guest blog post, @davidbrax.bsky.social broaches the issue of hope labour in higher education. #hopelabour www.lexacademic.com/blog/living-...

While academic research is often replete with spanners in the works, far from fearing such scenarios and treating all curveballs as failures, we should embrace them for affording us the opportunity to “put the problem into the work”. www.lexacademic.com/blog/putting...

At Lex Academic, we relish the exacting task of compiling the index of your scholarly monograph, edited volume, or trade book. We work to very tight deadlines to accommodate the narrow window between receiving page proofs and your publisher's deadline. www.lexacademic.com/services/ind...

It is easy to underestimate how long applying for a PhD can take. The first step to applying for PhD funding is to isolate your academic work from the administrative task of applying for funding. www.lexacademic.com/blog/applyin... #PhDfunding #PhDapplications

AI cannot replicate the depth of human interaction that is central to #EthnographicResearch. The tone of voice, meaningful silences, cultural subtleties, and the trust built through genuine human connection are indispensable for uncovering the complexities. These are more than data points!

Many believe the myth that a #PhD is ‘impossible to fail'. This myth proliferates because the data on material PhD failures is scarce. In this guest blog, having been told that failure was inevitable, our writer describes the process of leaving a PhD programme. www.lexacademic.com/blog/it-happ...

Working with scholars in technical humanities disciplines like classical philology is a special strength of ours at Lex Academic. It is wonderful to hear what a difference our white-glove service makes to our esteemed academic clients. #proofreading #editing #classics #copyediting #indexing

Dr Megan Fritts (@freganmitts.bsky.social) describes how a well-known journal's automated plagiarism report led to a desk rejection of a paper based on her PhD dissertation. www.lexacademic.com/blog/ai-kill...

Academics are increasingly using AI translation tools as a cheap and fast way of translating their work. For this reason, @lexacademic.bsky.social now offer post-AI translation editing. Our bilingual editors only work on texts related to their expertise. www.lexacademic.com/blog/post-ai...

'Since my "coming out", I’ve been told by middle-class academics I don’t belong in academia. And people I’ve known most of my life have accused me of being a class traitor.' We spoke to @pwcraddock.bsky.social about getting on (and getting along) in academia. www.lexacademic.com/blog/coming-...

Our Founding Director, @csandis.bsky.social, in conversation with leading public philosopher and pioneering business thinker @tomvmorris.bsky.social. Constantine and Tom discuss the various ways in which one can have a successful life and career as a philosopher. www.lexacademic.com/blog/the-lex...

We are aware of the convenience afforded by a swift machine translation. However most content produced by AI fails to meet professional standards. Our experienced bilingual editors take translations produced by AI and refine them to ensure cogency and accuracy. www.lexacademic.com/machine-tran...

The earliest example of feedback is marked into a clay tablet: ‘You sold me some copper ingots’, the writer complains, ‘and they were not good’. In this blog, we explore four considerations that guide our academic feedback services. www.lexacademic.com/blog/how-to-... #AcademicChatter

This week, we celebrate four years of Lex Academic. We would like to thank our editorial team members and affiliate editors who have made this possible, as well as the thousands of authors, publishers, and institutions we have worked with during this period.

In this blog post, Dr Eri Mountbatten-O’Malley explores what PhD burnout is, why it happens, what is unique about it, why it matters, and how you can turn the risk of burnout into a benefit. www.lexacademic.com/blog/the-dan... #PhDchat #AcademicChatter #burnout
