Purpose of this policy
This policy establishes the academic integrity principles that govern services provided through Wiki Assignments UK. Its purpose is to explain how our academic support may be used, what customers are responsible for and the types of activity we do not support.
Academic integrity requirements can differ between universities, programmes, modules and individual assessments. Customers should review the regulations and assessment instructions issued by their own institution before using an academic support service.
Our academic integrity principles
Wiki Assignments UK aims to provide academic support in a way that respects the standards expected by universities and other educational institutions. Our services are intended to support learning, research, academic development and the improvement of work rather than replace a student's academic responsibilities.
Responsible academic support
We provide support that can help customers understand academic requirements, develop ideas, improve the structure and presentation of their work, strengthen research decisions and respond to feedback. Any assistance must ultimately be used in accordance with the customer's institutional rules.
Customer responsibility
Customers remain responsible for their academic decisions and for ensuring that work submitted for assessment complies with the requirements that apply to them.
Originality and proper attribution
Sources, ideas, evidence and other material should be acknowledged in accordance with the referencing requirements applicable to the customer's work. We do not support plagiarism, fabricated citations or deliberate misrepresentation of another person's ideas or work.
Transparency
We aim to describe the nature and limitations of our services clearly. Academic support, feedback, examples and guidance should not be interpreted as permission to disregard an institution's academic rules.
Respect for institutional requirements
Universities and other institutions may apply different rules to editing, proofreading, tutoring, generative AI, research assistance, collaboration and other forms of academic support. Customers are responsible for identifying and following the requirements that apply to their programme and assessment.
Permitted use of our services
Wiki Assignments UK services may be used for legitimate academic support where the requested assistance and the customer's subsequent use of that assistance are permitted by their institution.
Depending on the service and applicable academic rules, appropriate uses may include:
- Understanding an assignment brief, marking criteria or supervisor feedback.
- Developing research questions, objectives or an appropriate research direction.
- Receiving explanations of academic concepts, theories or methodological approaches.
- Improving organisation, structure, clarity and academic presentation.
- Identifying areas of a draft that require further development.
- Receiving editing and proofreading support where permitted.
- Obtaining guidance on referencing conventions and source attribution.
- Receiving support with literature searching, source evaluation and research planning.
- Understanding quantitative or qualitative data-analysis methods and the interpretation of results.
- Receiving feedback that the customer can use to revise and develop their own work.
- Using examples or guidance as learning material where permitted by the relevant institution.
The availability of a service on our website does not mean that every form of that service is permitted for every assessment. Customers should check their university or institution's requirements where there is any uncertainty.
Prohibited use of our services
Wiki Assignments UK does not knowingly support requests intended to facilitate academic misconduct or other dishonest academic practices.
Our services must not be used to:
- Impersonate another student or participate in an assessment on another person's behalf.
- Facilitate plagiarism or deliberate misrepresentation of authorship.
- Fabricate, falsify or manipulate research data, results, sources, references or evidence.
- Invent interviews, surveys, participants, experiments or other research activity and present them as genuine.
- Circumvent an institution's examination, assessment or authentication procedures.
- Obtain assistance that is expressly prohibited by the customer's university or assessment regulations.
- Conceal prohibited assistance where an institution requires such assistance to be declared.
- Engage in activity that the customer knows would breach the academic integrity requirements governing their assessment.
We may decline, restrict or discontinue support where a request clearly conflicts with these principles or would require participation in academic misconduct.
Customer responsibilities
Customers are responsible for ensuring that their use of Wiki Assignments UK services is consistent with the academic regulations, assessment instructions and integrity requirements that apply to them.
Customers are expected to:
- Read and understand the academic integrity and assessment requirements issued by their university, college or other educational institution.
- Provide accurate information about the nature of the assessment and any restrictions that apply to external assistance.
- Use guidance, feedback, examples and other support only in ways permitted by their institution.
- Complete any work, decisions or declarations that their institution requires them to undertake personally.
- Check the accuracy and suitability of material before relying on it in academic work.
- Acknowledge or declare external assistance where required by their institution.
- Ensure that work submitted for assessment complies with applicable authorship, originality and referencing requirements.
Customers should not assume that a particular form of assistance is permitted simply because it is available as an academic support service. Where the rules are unclear, the customer should seek clarification from their institution before using the assistance in assessed work.
Originality, plagiarism and referencing
We support responsible research and appropriate acknowledgement of sources. Customers should ensure that ideas, quotations, data, evidence and other material derived from external sources are cited or acknowledged in accordance with the referencing requirements applicable to their work.
We do not knowingly support plagiarism, fabricated references, deliberate misrepresentation of authorship or attempts to disguise material copied from another source.
Where referencing support is provided, customers remain responsible for checking citations and reference entries against the original sources and the referencing style required by their institution. Bibliographic details, quotations, page numbers, URLs, dates and other source information should be verified before submission.
Generative AI and automated tools
Universities and other educational institutions may impose different requirements on the use of generative AI and other automated tools. These requirements may vary between institutions, programmes, modules and individual assessments.
Customers are responsible for determining whether the use of generative AI, automated writing tools, translation tools, automated data-analysis tools or other automated technologies is permitted for their assessment and whether its use must be acknowledged or declared.
Wiki Assignments UK does not represent the use of any particular technology as automatically acceptable under a customer's institutional rules. Where an institution prohibits or restricts a particular form of technological assistance, those requirements must be followed.
Editing, proofreading and academic feedback
Editing, proofreading and academic feedback may be permitted forms of academic support, but institutions can place limits on the nature and extent of assistance allowed for assessed work.
Depending on the service requested, support may identify issues involving clarity, grammar, spelling, organisation, consistency, academic presentation, referencing or areas requiring further development. Feedback may also explain why a section could be improved so that the customer can make informed revisions.
Customers remain responsible for ensuring that the level of editing, proofreading or feedback they receive is permitted by their institution. We do not treat editing or feedback as permission to override authorship requirements or other assessment restrictions.
Research and data integrity
Research support must be used in a manner consistent with appropriate academic and research standards. We do not knowingly assist with the fabrication or falsification of research activity, participants, interviews, surveys, observations, experiments, datasets, findings or other evidence.
Where support relates to research design, methodology, statistics or data analysis, customers remain responsible for the authenticity and lawful use of the underlying research materials and data they provide.
Customers are also responsible for complying with any institutional requirements relating to research ethics, informed consent, confidentiality, data protection, research approval and the handling of participant information.
Institutional and assessment requirements
Academic integrity rules are determined by the relevant university, college, awarding body or other educational institution. Those requirements may be more restrictive than the general forms of academic support described on our website.
Where there is a conflict between information on our website and a customer's applicable institutional or assessment requirements, the institutional requirements take precedence.
Customers should pay particular attention to assessment instructions concerning independent work, collaboration, editing, proofreading, research assistance, generative AI, external support and declarations of assistance.
Our integrity safeguards
We may review the nature of a request before providing support and may ask for relevant assessment instructions or other information where this is necessary to understand the permitted scope of assistance.
We may limit, modify or decline a request where the information available indicates that providing the requested assistance would conflict with this policy or would require participation in academic misconduct.
These safeguards do not replace the customer's responsibility to understand and comply with their own institutional requirements.
Suspected misuse of our services
If we reasonably believe that a request is intended to facilitate plagiarism, impersonation, fabrication, prohibited assistance or another form of academic misconduct, we may refuse or discontinue the relevant service.
Where appropriate, we may explain how a request can be reframed as legitimate academic guidance, feedback or learning support. We are not required to provide assistance that conflicts with this policy.
Any action relating to an order or service will also be subject to the applicable provisions of our Terms & Conditions and other relevant policies.
