There is a fixed limit of 25,000 words; for papers longer than 25,000 words, please contact us via email for a quote and delivery time. Please note that we edit only research articles, not books or theses.

An invoice will be sent shortly after you confirm your order with us. Payment can be made in US Dollars (USD) by bank transfer, PayPal, Alipay and WeChat.

We will not start editing your paper until we have confirmed the payment, which can take several days.

If there will be a long delay in payment (e.g., due to institutional logistic issues), please contact us with evidence that the payment is being processed, as we may be able to return the edited manuscript earlier.

There are several reasons why we might not be able to edit your paper:

The file is corrupted, or the text is not easily editable (e.g., most of the text is contained in text boxes or pictures, or the file contains a virus).

The file is not an academic research paper. We cannot edit theses, dissertations, essays, or books.

Your manuscript is not written in English or has been translated using automatic software such as Google Translate, which often generates translations that do not meet academic standards.

Payment is not received in five (5) days. If you know in advance that payment may take some time, please contact us. It may be possible to return your edited paper early if you provide evidence that payment has been made.

We have an editorial team that double-checks every edited manuscript. If you need our services or have any questions, comments, or suggestions about our services, please contact us via email. We will respond within 24 hours.

Please note that you are required to self-assess and cover the tax. We recommend consulting your accountant for more information.

Our prices are based on two factors: word count and delivery time. Every service page on this site has a handy quote widget where you can type in your word count to get an exact price.

In MS Word, go to the Review tab or Tools menu and select Word Count. Generally, tables and references are not counted. If there is a section that you want or do not want us to check, please mention this in comment balloons with highlights. To ensure there are no delays in processing your order, please make every effort to give us an accurate count.

Placing an order with OAE is easy. Simply choose the service that best fits your needs on our editing service page.

After reading the service description, you can obtain an instant quote simply by providing an accurate word count of your document(s).

When you're ready to order, email us regarding your document, including your paper's subject area and purpose, so that we can match your paper to the most appropriate Editor. Once you send us your document and pay for your order, we will start the editing. You will receive your revised document (Tracked and Clean versions) with the Editing Certificate within the delivery time.
