Ethical publication practice

Improve the manuscript while preserving author responsibility.

ScholarNest supports clarity, organisation and submission readiness without replacing the researcher’s intellectual ownership.

Researchers retain responsibility for ideas, methods, evidence, interpretations, citations and final approval.

Editorial work may improve structure, language, formatting, journal alignment and response-to-reviewer organisation.

ScholarNest does not fabricate findings, invent sources, falsify originality, conceal misconduct or misrepresent authorship.

Authors should follow the policies of their institution, funder and target journal when acknowledging editorial or technological assistance.
