PaperDue is a research and reference library operated by Electronic Inspiration LLC. The Service provides access to model papers, writing guides, citation tools, study aids, and other academic resources to help students learn how to write better papers.
We believe in academic integrity. The Student Honor Code below sets out the principles every PaperDue user agrees to when they create an account and use the Service.
PaperDue's model papers are examples of student writing intended to teach, demonstrate, and inspire. They are not finished work product to be submitted under your name. Here is the difference at a glance:
- Study how strong academic papers are structured and argued
- Find relevant sources and citations for your own research
- Understand how to apply academic frameworks to specific topics
- Learn formal citation styles such as APA, MLA, and Chicago
- Use writing tools (outline generators, title generators, citation formatters) to improve your own work
- Save time on the early, research-heavy stages of your assignments
- Submit any paper or portion of a paper from PaperDue as your own original work
- Plagiarize content, in whole or in part, from any paper, writing guide, or other content on the Service
- Violate the academic integrity policy, honor code, or rules of your school, college, or university
- Misrepresent the authorship of any paper to any instructor, professor, administrator, or examining body
- Resell, redistribute, or republish any content from the Service
- Use the Service in any way that constitutes academic dishonesty, cheating, contract cheating, or fraud
Here is how to get real value out of the Service while maintaining your academic integrity:
Read sample papers the way you would read a published article — to see how the writer structured the argument, supported claims with evidence, and handled counterarguments.
If a sample paper points you toward a source you end up using, cite that source directly in your own paper. If you quote or paraphrase any language from a PaperDue paper itself, cite PaperDue as the source.
Your paper should be written by you, in your own voice, reflecting your own analysis. Use PaperDue papers as models, not as templates to copy.
Every school has its own academic integrity policy. You are responsible for knowing what your institution allows and prohibits. When in doubt, ask your instructor.
Outline generators, citation tools, and writing guides are designed to support your own writing process, not to replace it.
PaperDue model papers are written by human contributors and have, in some cases, been published online for a long period. They may be indexed by plagiarism detection services such as Turnitin, SafeAssign, and similar tools.
If you submit any portion of a PaperDue paper as your own work, those services are likely to flag it. We strongly encourage you to run your own final draft through a plagiarism checker before submission to confirm that your work is original.
You are solely responsible for how you use the Service and the content you find on it. Electronic Inspiration LLC and PaperDue are not responsible for any academic, disciplinary, professional, or legal consequences that result from a user violating their institution's policies, this Honor Code, or our Terms of Service.
By creating an account, you confirm that:
- You understand that PaperDue is a research and reference tool
- You will use the Service for legitimate study and research purposes only
- You will not submit any PaperDue content as your own original work
- You accept full responsibility for complying with your institution's academic integrity policies
If we determine, in our sole discretion, that a user is misusing the Service in a way that violates this Honor Code or our Terms of Service, we may:
- Issue a warning
- Suspend or terminate the account without refund
- Cooperate with academic institutions or law enforcement to the extent required by law
- Pursue any other remedies available to us
We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone for any lawful reason.
If you are an educator, administrator, or another concerned party and you believe a PaperDue account is being used to violate academic integrity, please contact us at [email protected] with as much detail as possible. We will investigate in good faith.
If you are a copyright holder and believe content on the Service infringes your rights, please see the DMCA section of our Terms of Service for the proper notice procedure.
We may update this Student Honor Code from time to time. If we make material changes, we will notify you by email or by posting a notice on the Service. The "Last Updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Your continued use of the Service after any update means you accept the revised Honor Code.
