Academic Integrity
UniWrite is a research and writing assistant. It is built to help you find real papers, draft from them, and format a document you can stand behind. It does not do your degree for you, and it does not remove your duty to your department.
What UniWrite does
The writing workspace searches academic databases, including Semantic Scholar and OpenAlex, and drafts chapters from papers that can be opened and checked. Citations are formatted for APA 7th. The formatting workspace reads a Word file you already have and proposes changes you can accept or leave.
A citation pointing at a real paper is not the same thing as a citation that supports the sentence in front of it. You still have to read the source.
What remains yours
- The research question, the data, and the argument are yours.
- You decide what is kept, rewritten, or deleted.
- You check names, years, quotations, and page numbers before a supervisor sees them.
- You follow your university’s rules on AI-assisted writing, plagiarism, and collaboration. Those rules differ by department, and a department rule overrides a product default.
What we will not pretend
UniWrite does not guarantee that a draft is original, complete, or acceptable to your supervisor. It does not check your work against a plagiarism database. Submitting generated text as if you wrote and verified every line, or citing a paper you have not opened, can be academic misconduct at your institution.
If your department restricts or bans AI tools, do not use UniWrite for that submission. Joining the beta is not approval from your faculty.
A practical standard
A sound way to use the workspace is to treat every section as a draft you can explain out loud: which paper each important claim came from, what you changed, and what is still your own analysis. If you cannot explain a paragraph, it is not ready to hand in.
