Academic Integrity & Quality Checks
Before work goes to a marker, examiner, journal or the public, it helps to have someone check what can be checked: that sources exist and are cited properly, numbers agree, the brief is met, and any similarity or AI-detection report is understood for what it is. We offer those checks, and integrity training for students and staff.
Overview
Quality problems in academic work are usually small and fixable: a reference list that drifted from the text, a statistic copied from an old draft, a paraphrase that stayed too close to its source, a criterion in the rubric that was overlooked. Found before submission, they take an afternoon to correct. Found by an examiner or reviewer, they can cost credibility far out of proportion to their size.
This pillar brings together services that look at a finished or nearly finished document from the outside. Some examine sources (citation audits, fact verification), some examine alignment with expectations (rubric-based review), and some help you make sense of automated reports from similarity checkers and AI detectors. Each produces an itemized log with evidence, so you can see exactly what was found and decide what to do.
We are deliberate about what we will not do. Similarity and AI-detection scores are indicators, not verdicts, and we help people understand them rather than game them. We never reword text to lower a similarity score, never 'humanize' text to pass an AI detector, and never create or alter drafts or data. Where something needs fixing, the fix is proper attribution, accurate reporting or genuine revision by the author.
For institutions, the same knowledge underpins our training: workshops that teach students to use sources and AI tools within the rules, and help staff read reports and handle suspected misconduct fairly.
Who this is for
- Students who have received a similarity or AI-detection report and need to understand it
- Thesis writers doing final checks on references, numbers and requirements before submission
- Researchers preparing manuscripts who want citations, retractions and statistics checked independently
- Organizations publishing reports that rely on statistics and cited evidence
- Teaching staff, supervisors and integrity officers who want clearer guidance on detection tools and fair process
Where to start
Pick the situation that sounds most like yours.
- My Turnitin similarity score looks high and I don't know which matches matterSimilarity report review
- My work was flagged as AI-generated and I need to understand the report and show how I wrote itAI-detection report review
- I need every citation checked against my reference list, plus DOIs and retractionsCitation audit
- Some references came from an AI chat and I'm not sure they all existCitation audit
- I want the numbers and factual claims in my paper or report double-checkedFact & data verification
- I want feedback on my draft against the marking rubric before I submitPre-submission review
- We need a workshop on citation, plagiarism and AI rules for students or staffAcademic integrity training
- I want my references formatted correctly in APA, Harvard or another styleCitation & referencing check
Services
- Plagiarism & Similarity Report Review (Turnitin, iThenticate) “Help understanding my Turnitin similarity score and fixing anything that is genuinely a problem”
- AI-Detection Report Review & Originality Guidance “My essay was flagged as AI-written and I need to understand the report and show how I actually wrote it”
- Citation & Reference Audit: Orphans, DOIs and Retractions “Check that every citation matches my reference list, the details are correct and none of the papers are retracted or made up”
- Fact & Data Verification for Academic and Research Documents “Someone to double-check the numbers, statistics and factual claims in my paper or report before it goes out”
- Rubric-Based Pre-Submission Review and Self-Assessment “Someone to read my draft against the marking rubric and tell me where it falls short before I hand it in”
- Academic Integrity Training for Students and Staff “Workshops to help students understand plagiarism, citation and AI rules, or help staff handle integrity cases fairly”
How we approach this work
Indicators, not verdicts
Similarity indices and AI indicators are treated as prompts for human reading. We explain what a tool measured, its documented limitations and what other evidence matters.
Every finding comes with evidence
Logs cite the exact passage, the source or record checked and the result, so you can verify each point yourself rather than taking our word for it.
Fix by attribution and accuracy, never by disguise
Genuine problems are solved with quotation, citation, corrected numbers or real revision. We refuse score-lowering rewrites, detector evasion and any altered drafts or data.
The author stays responsible
We identify and explain; you decide and revise. Your institution's or journal's policy and your supervisor's guidance take precedence over ours.
Frequently asked questions
Is a quality check the same as editing?
No. Editing improves the language and flow of your text. Quality checks examine whether sources, numbers and requirements are right and produce a log of findings. Many people combine the two, usually doing the checks first so the edit works on corrected content.
Can you certify that my work is original?
No one can honestly certify that. We can tell you what a similarity tool found, which matches need attention, and whether your references and numbers check out. Originality judgments belong to your institution or journal.
Why won't you help lower my similarity or AI score?
Because changing words to move a score does not fix the underlying issue and is itself treated as misconduct at many institutions. We help with the legitimate route: attributing sources properly, revising genuinely and documenting your process.
Which checks should I do before submitting a thesis?
A common sequence is a citation audit, a consistency check of key numbers, a rubric or examiner-criteria review, and then final formatting and proofreading. If your institution runs a similarity check at submission, reviewing a draft report first can prevent surprises.
Do you keep or share my document?
Documents are used only for the agreed check and are never added to any comparison database or repository. We can delete files when the work is complete.
