Draft talk:India Research Watch

Conflict of Interest Disclosure

I was approached by a member of the Indian Research Watchdog (IRW), to draft this article. This person was an acquaintance of mine, whom I had met at an event in New York City. I have received no payment or other financial benefit for its creation. My only connection to IRW is this personal acquaintance; I hold no formal role, interest, or other material relationship with the organization. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 21:27, 5 July 2025 (UTC)

I generally avoid overly embellished articles, but it is important to highlight this work by our organization, as our efforts extend beyond retraction analysis and issues related to fraud in institutional rankings. Flyingphoenixchips (talk) 12:30, 31 March 2026 (UTC)
