Sample policy text
Our role
We provide research consulting, capacity building, editorial assistance, and process support. We are not an accreditation body, indexing authority, or guaranteed-publication service.
Authorship
Authorship should reflect substantial contributions. We do not sell authorship or add names for payment.
Originality and plagiarism
Authors must submit original work and cite others’ ideas. Similarity checks, when used, are advisory; they do not replace author responsibility.
Conflicts of interest
Authors should declare financial and non-financial interests. We will declare ours when we recommend a paid service.
Research ethics
Studies involving people, communities, or identifiable data need appropriate ethical review. We will not coach clients to bypass review.
Corrections and retractions
If an error is found in work we helped prepare, we will support an honest correction. We do not hide errors to protect a submission.
Independent editorial decisions
Journal editors and reviewers are independent. Payment to Easy Research & Training never purchases acceptance.
