WordsRU - Academic Editing Policy

 

WordsRU provides academic editing and proofreading of the highest quality through our team of academically qualified professional editors and proofreaders. Our well- established service has assisted academic candidates around the world to optimize their academic papers and achieve the best outcomes.

Integrity in Academic Editing

In providing this service, WordRU maintains the highest respect for the academic process and is committed to the ethic that all academic papers must be the work of the academic candidate. WordsRU editors and proofreaders do not create or contribute content to the work of academic candidates or perform research, data collection, analyses or any other original work.

Plagiarism

WordsRU's administrative personnel decline invitations to provide price quotes from potential academic clients whose jobs specifically or otherwise request the reworking of plagiarized content. WordsRU considers such action to be in violation of academic standards and a failure to meet a fundamental requirement of academic performance.
In situations where copyright infringement or plagiarism is discovered or suspected, clients are advised of the serious nature of such breaches and editing will not proceed.

Plagiarism and Copyright Infringement Defined

Plagiarism is the practice of taking someone else’s work or ideas and passing them off as one’s own. To avoid plagiarism charges remember:

  1. If you copy text directly from someone else’s work, you must enclose the text in quotes and cite the original source.
  2. If you paraphrase text from someone else’s work (put the text in your own words), you must still cite the original source.
  3. Likewise, if you use someone else’s ideas, you must cite the original source.

Copyright infringement is the use of copyrighted material without proper permission. To avoid copyright infringement:

  1. Be certain to read the copyright notices on all your resources.
  2. Do not include tables, figures or images in your document that have been taken directly or modified from another source, without the express written permission of the original author.
  3. Be certain to include a note in your document indicating you have received the author’s permission to use their work.

Give Credit Where Credit is Due!

While a document consisting of nothing but linked quotes is considered very poor form, a well-worded document containing a comprehensive collection of relevant citations is an indication you have researched your topic, are familiar with the literature, have processed the information you gathered and understand how it relates to your work.
