FAQ

Good questions.

Will you write my paper for me?

No. You write it yourself and we correct every step. That keeps your work original, and you actually learn.

I’ve never done research. Can I join?

Yes. The roadmap starts from zero, even in first year.

Will I get published?

We guide you through journal choice, submission and reviewer replies. The final decision is the journal’s, but our mentored students have published.

How much time does it take?

About 30 to 60 minutes a day, at your own pace.

How do I pay?

After you apply, we email you payment details. Once it’s confirmed, you get your portal login.
