Academic Discipline and Integrity
Academic discipline covers cases of Academic Integrity violations in educational institutions. This includes plagiarism, falsification of data, misappropriation of others' work, cheating on exams, and violation of research ethics. Such allegations seriously damage the reputation of a student, researcher, or professor and often lead to the revocation of an academic degree or expulsion. Disputes mainly concern whether plagiarism detection software was used correctly, whether citation rules were followed, and whether the accused had an opportunity to defend themselves.
This service is for students and academic staff accused of academic dishonesty. Our experts will help you refute the charges and restore your reputation.
