Acceptable Use and Academic Integrity Policy

Acceptable Use and Academic Integrity Policy

Last updated: August 2026

Tesify exists to strengthen your writing and your learning, never to replace them. This policy explains what the tool does, what it does not do, and how we expect you to use it so that your work stays genuinely yours.

The principle: authorship is yours

The ideas, arguments and conclusions in your synopsis, dissertation or thesis must be your own. Tesify organises the structure, suggests improvements to what you have already written, builds your citations and lets you review your own originality — but it does not draft your work for you, and it does not relieve you of understanding and answering for everything you submit.

What Tesify does

• Structure: organises your document into coherent chapters and sections.
• Writing support: suggests phrasing and improves the clarity of paragraphs you have already written.
• Citations and references: applies APA 7 formatting (or another style, if your department requires it).
• Originality review: flags passages worth citing better or rewriting, before you submit.
• Formatting and export: leaves the document ready in Word, PDF or LaTeX.

What Tesify does not do

• It does not write your thesis from scratch for you to present as your own without having contributed anything.
• It does not guarantee that your submission will pass any detection system or stay under a similarity threshold: the originality review is an aid to your own checking, not a way around your university’s process.
• It does not invent data, sources or citations. Every source you use must be real, verifiable and checked by you.
• It does not replace your university’s regulations, UGC norms, your guide’s instructions, or your duty to declare the tools you used where that is required.

Uses we do not accept

Using Tesify to generate a thesis you did not meaningfully write, to invent citations or data, to get around your institution’s integrity rules, or to present AI-assisted work as entirely your own where your programme requires disclosure, is a breach of these terms. We reserve the right to suspend accounts used in ways incompatible with the purpose of the tool.

Follow your university’s rules

Academic integrity rules differ between universities, departments and programmes, and sometimes between guides. Some require you to declare the use of artificial intelligence tools; others restrict it further. It is your responsibility to know and follow your programme’s rules, and to ask your guide or the research cell if you are unsure about a particular use.
