At Research Paper Advisor we believe that academic support services must uphold the same integrity, accuracy, and transparency demanded of scholarly publications. This Editorial Policy explains the principles and procedures that govern every piece of content we produce—whether it is a custom-written research paper, a blog post, or a downloadable checklist. By making these guidelines public, we hold ourselves accountable to students, educators, and search engines alike.
1. Our Mission and Values
Integrity – We model the highest standards of academic honesty and expect our clients to use delivered work responsibly.
Expertise – All content is written or reviewed by subject-matter specialists with postgraduate degrees and verifiable research experience.
Clarity & Utility – Materials are crafted to be practically helpful, academically rigorous, and easy to understand.
Transparency – We openly describe our workflows, writer credentials, and revision policies so users can make informed decisions.
2. Editorial Standards
2.1 Author Qualifications
Every writer must:
Hold at least a master’s degree (90 % are PhDs).
Provide evidence of peer-reviewed publications or professional practice in the relevant field.
Pass a two-stage test covering research design, citation formats, and ethical writing.
2.2 Research Ethics
We adhere to the ethical codes of major academic associations (APA, MLA, IEEE, AMA). Writers are prohibited from fabricating data, manipulating results, or misrepresenting sources. Sensitive or personal data are handled in compliance with GDPR and FERPA where applicable.
2.3 Originality
All deliverables must show ≤ 10 % similarity on Turnitin. Direct quotations are properly attributed; paraphrases are rewritten to avoid close structural overlap.
3. Content Creation Workflow
Order Intake – The client submits requirements, rubric, and preferred sources via a secure form.
Writer Assignment – An in-house academic manager matches the brief to the best-suited expert; credentials are shared with the client for approval.
Outline Confirmation – The writer drafts a detailed outline or research proposal for client feedback.
Drafting & Evidence Gathering – Sources are limited to peer-reviewed journals, reputable databases, and primary documents no older than ten years unless historically significant.
Internal Quality Review – A senior editor checks argument coherence, methodological soundness, and language clarity.
Plagiarism & Reference Scan – The document passes through Turnitin and a reference checker for citation accuracy.
Delivery & Revisions – The client receives the final file plus a plagiarism report and may request unlimited edits within 14 days.
4. Fact-Checking and Source Verification
Citation Triangulation – Key claims must be supported by at least two independent scholarly sources.
Data Validation – Statistical results are reproduced in SPSS, R, or Excel by a second reviewer where feasible.
Link Integrity – Hyperlinks in blog content are audited quarterly to prevent dead or misleading references.
5. Citation & Formatting Standards
We support APA 7, MLA 9, Chicago 17 (notes-bibliography & author-date), IEEE, Harvard, and OSCOLA. Writers must follow the latest edition guidelines unless the client specifies an earlier version.
6. Conflicts of Interest
Authors and editors disclose any financial, institutional, or personal relationships that could influence objectivity. When a potential conflict exists, a neutral editor is assigned or the project is declined.
7. Corrections and Updates
Should factual errors or formatting inconsistencies be discovered after delivery:
Minor Errors (typos, broken links) are corrected within 24 hours.
Substantive Errors (data misinterpretation, incorrect citations) trigger an internal review; an updated version is issued within five business days.
Public Content (blog posts, guides) displays a transparent “Updated on” note with a summary of changes.
8. User Feedback and Complaints
Clients may submit feedback through the dashboard, live chat, or email [email protected]. Complaints are acknowledged within 12 hours and resolved within five business days, following an internal audit of the work in question.
9. Transparency and Accountability
Writer Bios & ORCID IDs – Accessible on our About Us page.
