Part I

You remain the author

  1. Clause 1.1

    What we do

    We guide your research question and protocol, review and check your methods, run or check your statistics and explain every result, and review, restructure and edit the drafts you write, with section-by-section guidance.

  2. Clause 1.2

    What we never do

    These are refusals, not options. A request for any of them ends the engagement.

    • Write your thesis, synopsis or chapters for you to submit as your own.
    • Appear as you before your guide, department, ethics committee, university or a journal.
    • Claim authorship or co-authorship of your thesis.

  3. Clause 1.3

    Disclosure

    We keep a record of the help we give. Where your institution or a journal asks for writing, editing or statistical help to be disclosed, we help you disclose it in the form they require.

Part II

Data and ethics

  1. Clause 2.1

    No fabricated or altered data

    We do not fabricate, supply, alter or impute data to change a result, and we do not drop inconvenient cases. Where the data does not support a hypothesis, the analysis says so.

  2. Clause 2.2

    Ethics approval first

    We do not begin an analysis on data collected before ethics approval was granted.

  3. Clause 2.3

    De-identified data only

    Send data with names, hospital numbers and other direct identifiers removed. A file that arrives with identifiers is deleted, not worked on.

    Privacy policy, Part III

Part III

Similarity and citation

  1. Clause 3.1

    Never a way round a checker

    Our similarity review shows which passages need a citation or your own rephrasing, and repairs citations. It is never used to disguise copied text or to get round your institution's own check.

  2. Clause 3.2

    No promised figure

    We read reports against the UGC 2018 convention of under 10% similarity, but we promise no figure on any system we do not operate.
