Working with scholars in technical humanities disciplines like classical philology is a special strength of ours at Lex Academic and we are rare in having this expertise both in-house and amongst our rigorously vetted pool of research editors and indexers.

We believe that to learn about new technologies, you need to use them and see what they're capable of. Better yet, why not ask your clients about their experiences of these tools?

Well, we did and the consensus is that there is nothing like a subject-matter expert.

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.
