Academic Integrity

The boundary between guidance and misconduct.

Empire Research Press operates strictly on the side of guidance, review, structure, and advisory. There is a clear and non-negotiable difference between helping a researcher improve their work and doing the work on their behalf.

Our services include reviewing a proposal and identifying weaknesses, advising on methodology selection, helping a researcher understand how to restructure a chapter, reviewing a questionnaire for variable alignment, and preparing a researcher for their viva. None of these constitute academic misconduct.

Writing a chapter for a student, fabricating survey responses, generating a literature review to be submitted as the student's own work, or manufacturing results — none of these are offered by Empire Research Press, regardless of how the request is framed.

If an enquiry appears to request services that cross this line, the enquiry will be declined. Empire Research Press reserves the right to decline any engagement that conflicts with this policy without explanation.


Confidentiality

How your documents and information are handled.

All documents submitted to Empire Research Press — whether for a quotation review or an active engagement — are treated as confidential. They are not shared with third parties, not published, not used for training or demonstration purposes, and not retained beyond the active engagement unless agreed otherwise.

Client names, document titles, submitted content, and engagement details are never disclosed publicly without explicit written permission from the client.

Testimonials and case references are used only where the client has provided written consent specifying exactly what may be quoted and where it may appear.

Fee Transparency

Fees are not displayed publicly because every project requires individual assessment. A private quotation is shared after reviewing the enquiry form, document specifications, urgency, and expected scope.

Fees are never shared with third parties and are communicated only to the client directly.

External Review Ethics

How independent reviews are requested and used.

Empire Research Press may commission paid professional evaluations from independent reviewers, subject experts, publishing professionals, or institutions. These evaluations are paid for the reviewer's professional time and expert assessment — not for guaranteed positive commentary.

We pay only for professional time and honest assessment.

We request permission before quoting any review text publicly.

We never use the words "certified by", "approved by", or "officially endorsed by" unless formal certification or approval has been granted and documented.

We keep reviewer name, designation, organisation, review date, and scope on record.

We use improvement feedback internally even where it is not suitable for public use.

We never fabricate, edit, or selectively misrepresent reviewer comments.


Operating Standard

Built on trust. Protected by clarity.

Empire Research Press earns trust through consistent, ethical, professional work — not through promises it cannot keep or boundaries it is willing to cross. This policy is not a formality. It is the operating standard.
