Do you write my PhD thesis or research paper?
No. ScholarLabz is a PhD research mentorship platform. We guide, train and review — the research scholar remains the sole author of every word. This is what keeps your degree and publications safe.
Do you provide PhD research mentorship in Bangalore?
Yes. ScholarLabz is based at 12th Cross Road, near BDA Complex, Indira Nagar 1st Stage, Bengaluru 560038, and mentors PhD scholars across Bangalore and the rest of India. Sessions run online, and in person by appointment.
Who are the mentors?
Published researchers from a 15-year R&D think tank, with papers in indexed journals and experience across research design, data analysis and peer review. Every PhD scholar is matched with a mentor from their own discipline.
Is PhD assistance ethical for research scholars?
Guidance, training and feedback on your own research are ethical and normal. Paying someone to write your thesis is not. ScholarLabz mentors only: the doctoral researcher designs, writes and defends the work, in line with COPE ethical guidelines.
Which disciplines do your PhD mentors cover?
Computer Science and AI, Engineering and Technology, Management and Commerce, Economics and Finance, Life Sciences and Biotechnology, Pharmacy and Healthcare, Social Sciences and Humanities, Education, Psychology, Environmental Science, Law, and Chemistry and Physics.
Can part-time PhD scholars and working professionals get mentorship?
Yes. Most working scholars book evening or weekend sessions online, so mentorship fits around a full-time job without travel.
Is my research kept confidential?
Yes. Your drafts, data and ideas are never shared with anyone, and the research scholar keeps full intellectual property over the work.
Which journals do you guide PhD scholars for?
We help you identify suitable SCI, SCIE, Scopus and Web of Science indexed journals that match your research. We never promise or guarantee acceptance.
How long does PhD mentorship last?
It's flexible: a single session to solve one problem, a focused package for one stage such as the proposal or data analysis, or ongoing mentorship through your whole PhD.
