01How often does MAAS publish new blog articles?
Our editorial team publishes two new articles every week — typically on Tuesday and Friday. Every article is written by an active PhD or Master expert in the network, not by freelance writers.
02Can I request topics for future articles?
Yes. Submit topics through the form on the Contact page or email support@maasedtech.com. The editorial team reviews requests weekly and prioritises by demand. Selected topics typically go live within 2–4 weeks.
03Are the writing guides free?
Yes — all writing guides, methodology articles and study hacks on the blog are free. No paywall, no signup. We see this as part of our commitment to the global academic community.
04Can I cite these articles in my dissertation?
Blog posts are reference material, not peer-reviewed. For academic writing, you should rely on primary sources (peer-reviewed journals, textbooks). The blog is a good starting point — every article includes references you can follow upstream.
05Does MAAS accept guest contributions from students?
Yes. PhD and Master students with compelling case studies on methodology, research design or the viva experience are welcome to submit. Editorial review takes seven days. Accepted pieces are published with full byline.
