FAQ
About our help and its limits
Do you write theses or chapters?
No. You stay the author of the thesis. We sit with you on the plan, go through your drafts and edit the language in tracked changes. Data and argument are yours only. In the viva-voce the examiner asks you, so you must know every page, and your signed declaration should be true. Where exactly our help stops is written in our ethics policy.
Is it ethical to use a research support service at all?
Taking expert help for language, structure, statistics and formatting is ethical, and very common also. Editors, statisticians and methods advisors have always done this work. Somebody else producing your research for you is not ethical. We check it with one question. Can you explain and defend every part of the final work yourself? If yes, the help was only support.
Will my supervisor know I used your help?
We talk only with you. Still, we feel you should be able to tell your guide about it. Many universities permit or expect acknowledgement of editorial and statistical help, and we can help you word it.
Do you use ChatGPT or other AI to write the work?
Our reviewers and editors are doing all the writing and editing by themselves. If you use AI tools yourself, check what your university and the journal says about disclosure. And verify every reference such a tool suggests.
Can you make my results significant?
No. The test is chosen based on your data type and your objectives. We check its assumptions first and the result we report as it comes. Suppose p is not significant, no problem, give the effect size and it is still a finding. Changing the analysis till the result looks nice goes against research integrity, for you and for us.
FAQ
About journal publication
Is acceptance in a Scopus or SCIE journal assured if I work with you?
No. The journal’s independent reviewers decide on acceptance, so nobody can assure it in advance. An indexed journal with independent peer review takes its own decision on every paper. We can help you prepare a strong manuscript and pick a well-matched journal that we have checked.
How long does publication take?
For most Scopus and SCIE journals, three to eight months from submission till acceptance is typical. In some fields it goes longer than that. Our guide on how long publication really takes goes through each stage one by one.
Someone offered me publication in two weeks. Should I take it?
First check the journal. In a proper indexed journal the review itself usually takes months. When somebody promises two weeks, mostly the paper is not going to a real reviewer at all. Send us journal name and we will check it free, or use our predatory journal checklist by yourself.
Will you add your name as a co-author?
Authorship goes to the people who actually did the research. So the author list is fully your decision. If you want, one line about us in the acknowledgements is enough.
Do you pay the journal’s fee for me?
No. Some journals charge a publication fee. In that case you pay it to the publisher directly, after acceptance only. This is the normal process followed at legitimate journals.
FAQ
About pricing and payment
How much will it cost?
It depends on the service, your subject, and the length and state of your material. After seeing the material we give a fixed price in writing, before any work starts. How pricing works.
Do I have to pay everything upfront?
Payment is in stages, as each part of the work gets delivered to you. So at no point are you paying far ahead of what you have already received.
What if I’m not satisfied?
Every scope has revision rounds included in it. Suppose we are not able to deliver a stage as per the scope, we refund the amount for that stage. Full details are there in our terms.
Will the price go up once you start?
No, whatever we agreed in writing for that scope, you pay that amount only. If you ask for something new, like a new chapter, a new analysis or a change of direction from your supervisor, we quote it separately and you decide.
FAQ
Practical questions
Is my work kept confidential?
Yes. Your work is seen only by the people working on your project, and it is used for your project only. We sign an NDA on request, and after the work ends we delete your files if you ask. The rest you can read in our privacy policy.
I’m not near Nagercoil. Can you still help?
Yes, we can. We work with scholars from all over India through phone, video, email and WhatsApp. And we follow the regulations of your own university for the work.
Can I talk to the person working on my project?
Yes. Before the work starts, you will come to know their subject background. After that you can discuss about the work with them directly.
How quickly can you start?
Mostly within a few days after we agree on the scope. If time is short, say it in the first message itself. We will tell you clearly whether the work can be done properly in the time you have.
Do you help with universities outside Tamil Nadu?
Yes. For each university we go by its current PhD regulations and thesis guidelines. We have written up the thesis formats for Anna University, VTU, JNTU and Bharathiar. Many other universities also we work with.
