Okay, bear with me here, this might be a specific question but...
Just the other day, while was helping first-year student find resources for their thesis on environmental science, we stumbled upon an interesting dilemma. He asked me how ethical it was to seek professional assistance with writing his research paper. It got me thinking isn't that what we're doing when we gather resources from multiple sources or when we refer to scholarly articles written by someone else? Don't get me wrong, I've spent years in the library assisting students finding the best credible sources they can rely on for their work, so appreciate the importance of originality and citation.
But sometimes, you find yourself stuck in rut or wrestling with that tricky methodology section and you think: wouldn't it be great to have someone experienced to guide you through this? Came across these so-called 'research paper writing services' online that claim to do just that. Now, some might argue it's cheating, while others say it's more like tutoring. And hey, if the service provided is within lines of consultation and guidance rather than outright writing your whole paper for you, then isn't it sorta like asking your professor for advice?
Curious to hear other research perspectives on this.
