Academic Integrity Policy

Last updated: add effective date

Our commitment

RigorWrite Research is built around one standing rule that applies to every service we offer, not just dissertations: we provide consulting, methodology guidance, statistical analysis, and editing — never work intended to be submitted by a client as their own independently-authored output in a context where that would violate an institution's or publisher's policies.

What we do

  • Methodology consulting and study design guidance
  • Statistical analysis and interpretation support
  • Systematic review and evidence synthesis methodology support
  • Editing for clarity, structure, and citation accuracy
  • Coaching and mentorship through your own research process

What we don't do

  • Submit completed work on your behalf as though it were solely your own, independent output, where that would breach your institution's policies
  • Guarantee a specific grade, committee approval, or journal acceptance
  • Encourage or assist in circumventing your institution's or publisher's academic integrity requirements

Your responsibility

Academic institutions and journals vary in how they define and require disclosure of outside consulting support. You are responsible for reviewing your institution's or publisher's specific policies and disclosing the use of our services where required.

Why this matters to you

This positioning isn't just an ethical stance — it's what keeps the support you receive defensible if your work is ever questioned. Work you've actively participated in producing, with documented consulting and your own understanding of every methodological decision, holds up in a way that fully outsourced work does not.

Questions

If you're unsure whether a specific kind of support fits within your institution's policies, ask us before starting — we'd rather scope the engagement correctly from the outset than have it become a problem later. Reach out via our contact page.
