Last updated: October 30, 2026
Our Commitment to Content Integrity
ScholarsView aims to provide a platform where professionals, subject-matter experts and knowledgeable creators can share original insights, research, analysis and informed perspectives.
We believe that valuable publishing depends on more than simply producing content. It requires accuracy, meaningful contribution, proper attribution and responsibility towards readers.
Our objective is to encourage creators to produce work that readers can understand, evaluate and engage with confidence.
Originality and Plagiarism
Content submitted to ScholarsView should represent the creator's own original work, ideas, analysis or meaningful contribution.
Creators must not copy another person's writing, research or creative work and present it as their own. Direct quotations, external research and third-party materials should be properly attributed.
Rewriting or paraphrasing someone else's work does not automatically make it original. Creators should contribute meaningful understanding and properly acknowledge the sources they use.
Plagiarism, fabricated authorship, misleading attribution and unauthorised reproduction are not acceptable.
Accuracy and Verification
Creators are responsible for making reasonable efforts to ensure that the information they publish is accurate, relevant and supported by appropriate evidence.
Important factual statements, statistics, quotations, research findings and technical explanations should be checked against reliable sources.
Creators must not invent data, misrepresent research, fabricate references or deliberately present uncertain information as established fact.
Where information is disputed, incomplete or subject to change, appropriate context should be provided.
Sources and Attribution
Creators should use relevant and credible sources when supporting factual claims. Primary sources, official publications, academic research and other reliable references should be preferred where appropriate.
Sources should genuinely support the statements for which they are cited. Quotations and material taken from other authors must be clearly attributed.
Creators should not use fabricated citations, misleading references or sources they have not reasonably verified.
Responsible Use of AI
Artificial intelligence can support research, writing and content development. We encourage responsible use while maintaining human judgment and accountability.
01
Research Assistance
Using AI tools to explore topics, identify research directions, organise information or generate ideas, provided that creators independently verify the information before publishing.
02
Writing and Editing
Using AI for grammar correction, spelling, readability improvements, language refinement and structural suggestions.
03
Summarisation and Organisation
Using AI to organise notes, summarise reference materials or structure an article, provided that original sources are reviewed and represented accurately.
04
Creative Assistance
Using AI to brainstorm headlines, generate outlines or improve the presentation of original ideas.
Practices That Undermine Content Integrity
- ✕Submitting entirely AI-generated material as original expert work without meaningful human review, understanding and responsibility.
- ✕Publishing fabricated statistics, research findings, quotations, references or citations.
- ✕Using AI to create misleading information, impersonate individuals or manufacture evidence.
- ✕Presenting AI-generated analysis as verified professional research or personal experience when it is not.
- ✕Reproducing copyrighted or third-party material without appropriate rights or attribution.
- ✕Misrepresenting a creator's qualifications, expertise or experience.
Routine AI assistance with spelling, grammar, formatting or basic editing generally does not require a separate disclosure.
Creators should disclose substantial AI involvement when it is relevant to understanding the authorship, research process or presentation of an article.
Example Disclosure
"AI tools were used to assist with research organisation and language editing. The author reviewed the final content and is responsible for its accuracy and conclusions."
This is an illustrative example. Creators should describe their actual use of AI accurately.
Human Responsibility and Accountability
The use of technology or external tools does not transfer responsibility for published content away from the creator.
Creators remain responsible for the accuracy, originality, quality, legality and appropriate presentation of every article submitted under their name.
Creators should apply their own knowledge, understanding and critical judgment rather than relying blindly on automated tools.
Copyright, Privacy and Third-Party Rights
Creators must ensure that submitted work respects copyright, intellectual property and other applicable rights.
Third-party content, images, research and other materials must not be reproduced without appropriate permission or another valid legal basis.
Creators should also exercise care when sharing confidential, personal or sensitive information with external tools or services.
