Academic ethics
Copy-Writing subscribes to internationally recognised editing protocol relating to academic writing, and in particular associated with dissertations and theses. We will not write original academic content for you; we also will not rewrite academic content so that it complies with specified scoring on anti-plagiarism software such as Turnitin. Higher degree candidates and academics publishing articles and papers must have done their own research, thinking and fundamental writing. We do not provide services that infringe on this requirement.
We also do not write academic essays or take tests for our clients. Furthermore, in terms of our writing services, we write only for business clients and do not sell or promote any academic documents that could be presented as original work.
