Our commitment to ethical and responsible use of AI in academic research
Research Sathi is built to support ethical academic work. The platform is intended to help users organise, improve, and manage their research workflow, not to enable misconduct.
Users must not use Research Sathi to commit plagiarism, ghostwriting fraud, impersonation, fabrication, falsification, citation manipulation, or any form of academic dishonesty.
AI-supported assistance should be used responsibly. Users are responsible for ensuring that submitted work complies with the rules of their institution, department, supervisor, journal, conference, or publisher. Where disclosure of AI use is required, it is the user's responsibility to make that disclosure accurately.
⚠️If your institution, journal, or publisher requires disclosure of AI-assisted writing, it is your responsibility to declare it accurately.
Research Sathi may offer tools for drafting assistance, language support, paper organisation, research planning, reference formatting, data interpretation support, and paper-readiness review. These tools do not remove the user's responsibility to think critically, verify outputs, and maintain originality.
These tools are designed to guide and assist — not to replace your critical thinking, judgment, or original contribution.
We reserve the right to restrict access to users who appear to misuse the platform for unethical or prohibited purposes.
