Terms of Use
These terms apply to the public Research Integrity QC AI website and pilot-interest form.
Public Information Site
This website describes an early research-quality improvement workflow and accepts pilot-interest requests. It does not provide a public manuscript upload service or a production research-integrity review service.
No Misconduct Determination
Research Integrity QC AI is intended to flag potential issues for human review. It does not determine misconduct, fabrication, falsification, fraud, plagiarism, or image manipulation.
No Professional Advice
The website and sample materials are informational only. They are not legal, medical, institutional-compliance, ethics-board, or journal-policy advice. Users remain responsible for their own research, submissions, compliance obligations, and institutional review requirements.
Acceptable Use
- Use the form only for genuine pilot-interest or relevant collaboration inquiries.
- Do not submit confidential manuscripts, sensitive data, passwords, API keys, or private records.
- Do not use the site to make public accusations about researchers, authors, journals, institutions, or companies.
- Do not attempt to spam, scrape, overload, or bypass the site.
Pilot Requests
Submitting a pilot request does not guarantee acceptance into a pilot, access to any software, a response timeline, or any particular analysis result. Suitable pilots should be scoped separately before any materials are reviewed.
Changes
These terms may be updated as the project evolves. Continued use of the public website after updates means the updated terms apply.
