Papers.guru is an independent resource for students, researchers, and professionals who write, review, and use academic and technical documents. Our goal is simple: turn complex writing tasks into clear, ethical, and actionable work.

We publish guides, templates, and step‑by‑step checklists for theses, research proposals, literature reviews, technical papers, and CS assignments. We do not sell academic work or complete assignments for clients.

Our mission

Help readers produce rigorous, readable, and responsible writing—grounded in sound methods, academic integrity, and transparent sourcing.

What we do

  • Practical guides that break down structure, methods, and evaluation criteria (e.g., discussion vs. conclusion, research design, documentation & testing).
  • Templates & samples for common deliverables (proposals, thesis sections, lab reports, technical memos) with usage notes and checklists.
  • Technical‑writing support for non‑engineers: how to explain complexity to decision‑makers clearly and ethically.
  • Skills transfer: citations, reproducibility tips, data transparency, and peer‑review readiness.

Editorial standards

  • Evidence first. Claims in our guides and examples must be verifiable via cited sources or primary artifacts (rubrics, style manuals, method texts).
  • Independence. Editors disclose relevant affiliations; contributors do not cover tools/services with which they have financial relationships.
  • Peer review. New and substantially updated articles receive second‑editor review for accuracy, clarity, and scope.
  • Corrections. We fix errors and mark substantive changes with an Updated note and change‑log at the end of the article.
  • User feedback. We invite readers to flag issues or suggest additions; verified improvements are incorporated with attribution where appropriate.

How we create & update content

  1. Scoping. Define audience, outcome, and evaluation criteria (rubric) for the piece.
  2. Sourcing. Collect references (style guides, standards, textbooks, reputable journal editorials) and annotate key points.
  3. Drafting. Build a teachable sequence (intro → model → practice → checklist) with examples and edge cases.
  4. Review & test. Cross‑check against rubrics; run templates through sample prompts; validate citations and links.
  5. Publish & maintain. Add structured data (author, datePublished, dateModified), accessibility notes, and a change‑log. Re‑review core guides at least every 12 months or when standards change.

Academic integrity & responsible use

  • We do not write or sell academic work on behalf of clients.
  • Our content is for learning and drafting—always follow your institution’s honor code.
  • Templates include originality prompts and citation placeholders to encourage proper attribution.
  • When we reference third‑party tools, we explain ethical use and limitations.

Transparency & affiliations

  • Papers.guru is funded by our own editorial work. If we ever accept sponsorships or use affiliate links, we will:
    • clearly label them on the page,
    • use no‑follow/sponsored attributes, and
    • never sell placements or favorable coverage.
  • Contributors disclose paid relationships related to topics they cover; conflicts result in reassignment.
