Editorial Policy

Last updated: September 29, 2025

1) Our Mission

We publish practical, ethical, and accurate writing guidance that helps students learn. All materials are created for reference and study support only and must not be submitted as a student’s own work.

2) Editorial Values

  • Accuracy first. Every fact, definition, and example is checked before publication and rechecked during periodic audits.

  • Expert-led. Content is planned, drafted, and reviewed by subject-matter editors with proven academic or professional backgrounds.

  • Student-centered. We prioritize clarity, usefulness, and honesty over marketing claims.

  • Integrity. We uphold academic honesty and reject any encouragement of plagiarism or misconduct.

  • Inclusivity. We write in clear, accessible English and avoid biased or discriminatory language.

3) Scope of Content

We cover academic writing skills, research practices, citation and formatting, study strategies, and explanations of assignment types (e.g., essays, research papers, case studies, lab reports, personal statements). We also publish sample outlines, topic ideas, and annotated examples intended purely as learning aids.

4) Content Types We Publish

  • How-to guides (step-by-step writing and research processes)

  • Explainers (concepts, methods, terminology)

  • Checklists & templates (for planning, drafting, and revising)

  • Sample excerpts (short, illustrative passages—never full papers)

  • Policy & transparency pages (like this one)

5) Author Qualifications

Lead authors and editors must meet at least one of the following:

  • Advanced degree in a relevant field

  • Professional editing or teaching experience

  • Documented record of academic or professional publications

Each article includes an author byline and, where relevant, an editor credit. Editorial leadership periodically audits contributor profiles to ensure continued fit and expertise.

6) Editorial Process

  1. Planning. Topics are selected based on student needs, curriculum relevance, and search demand aligned with our mission.

  2. Drafting. Authors create original manuscripts guided by our stylebook and academic-integrity standards.

  3. Fact-Checking. Claims, definitions, and statistics are verified against reputable, citable sources.

  4. Editing. A senior editor reviews structure, clarity, accuracy, inclusive language, and compliance with policy.

  5. Compliance Review. We confirm alignment with academic-integrity rules and remove any potentially misleading claims.

  6. Publication. Articles are formatted for readability (headings, summaries, checklists, examples) and scheduled for updates.

  7. Maintenance. Content is reassessed at least annually or sooner if user feedback or standards change.

7) Accuracy & Fact-Checking

  • We prioritize primary and authoritative references.

  • Numerical data and definitions are verified during editing.

  • If errors are reported or discovered, we correct them promptly and note the change in the “Updates & Corrections” section of the page.

8) Originality & Plagiarism

  • All materials must be 100% original to this site or published with explicit permission.

  • We use plagiarism screening tools before publication.

  • We prohibit copying from textbooks, journals, or other websites. Quoted phrases are clearly marked and limited to what is necessary for explanation.

9) Use of AI & Automation

  • AI tools may assist with brainstorming or style consistency, never with generating final drafts without human authorship and editorial review.

  • Human editors are accountable for accuracy, originality, and tone.

  • We do not publish auto-generated content that lacks human verification or introduces unverified claims.

10) Sources & Citations

  • We reference credible, recognized materials (e.g., academic style manuals, scholarly and educational publishers).

  • When a page discusses a standard (such as citation formats), we name the standard and present examples in our own words.

  • We avoid outbound links in policy pages and provide clear, self-contained explanations within our articles.

11) Academic Integrity & Responsible Use

  • Our examples, outlines, and samples are for learning purposes only.

  • Users must not pass any material from this site as their own work.

  • We encourage proper citation, paraphrasing, and adherence to institutional honor codes.

12) Tone & Readability

  • Plain, direct language suitable for non-experts

  • Clear headings, summaries, and numbered steps

  • Examples that illustrate methods without writing full assignments for the reader

13) Inclusivity & Bias

  • We avoid stereotypes and discriminatory statements.

  • We use person-first and respectful language.

  • We welcome feedback on phrasing or representation and will update content accordingly.

14) Advertising & Commercial Influence

  • Commercial messages never override accuracy or student interests.

  • Sponsored content (if any) is labeled and held to the same editorial standards.

  • Authors and editors must disclose conflicts of interest; editorial decisions remain independent.

15) Updates & Corrections

  • Minor updates (style, formatting) may be made without notice.

  • Substantive changes (method revisions, clarified definitions, corrected examples) are noted in a change log at the end of the article.

  • Corrections are dated and summarized with the nature of the fix.

16) User Feedback

We invite suggestions, questions, and correction requests. Please include the page URL, a short description of the issue, and any supporting details. Our editorial team reviews all messages and prioritizes those affecting accuracy or clarity.

17) Legal & Compliance

  • We respect copyrights and fair-use guidelines.

  • We do not host or distribute copyrighted works in full.

  • We comply with applicable data-protection and consumer-protection laws relevant to our services and audience.
