Scholio is a platform for those who want to research, write and think rigorously — whether you are an academic researcher, student, journalist or simply someone with intellectual curiosity. Your institution or title do not matter: if you work with ideas and want to do it well, this is your place.
For it to work for everyone, there are some basic rules.
The work you publish or share on Scholio is yours, or is correctly attributed to its authors. Do not use the platform to present others’ ideas as your own or to facilitate plagiarism.
The Scholio assistant exists to help you research and write better, not to replace your thinking. If you use AI to generate or rephrase content in your documents, declare it — in the document itself or in the project metadata. The academic community is building norms around this; in the meantime, transparency is always the right answer.
Shared projects imply trust. Treat your collaborators’ work with the same care as your own. Disputes over authorship or access should be resolved between the people involved; if you need support, you can contact us.
Do not upload copyrighted material without having the rights to do so. If your research involves personal data, make sure you have consent and comply with applicable regulations.
Do not attempt to access projects or documents that are not yours. Do not use the AI assistant to try to extract information from other users. Do not use Scholio to distribute misinformation.
We believe in giving opportunities to correct. The usual process is:
First violation
Email warning explaining what happened and what we expect.
Second violation
Formal warning and temporary restriction of some features.
Third violation
Account suspension.
We reserve the right to skip this process in serious cases: unauthorized access to other users’ data, deliberate fraud or any activity that puts the platform or other users at risk.
Scholio is born from the conviction that knowledge should be accessible to anyone who wants to work with it seriously. This code does not exist to create barriers, but to protect that spirit. If you are unsure whether something is right or wrong, the useful question is: Would I be comfortable explaining what I am doing to my collaborators? If the answer is yes, you are probably on the right track.
