Choosing your academic level
Your academic level is the setting that shapes every AI response in ResearchDoom. It changes what the tools actually produce.
What each level changes
Section titled “What each level changes”| Diploma | Undergraduate | Master’s | PhD | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| How it treats you | Encouraging instructor | Encouraging teacher | Supportive but firm supervisor | Rigorous examiner |
| Originality expected | Very low: apply known methods | Low | Moderate: find and partly fill a gap | High: a defensible, specific contribution |
| Literature depth | Shallow | Shallow to moderate | Moderate to deep | Very deep, global |
| Publication | Not expected | Not expected | Encouraged | Often required (1 to 3 papers) |
| Typical length | 20 to 40 pages | 40 to 80 pages | 70 to 120 pages | 150 to 300+ pages |
Chapter length is set for you
Section titled “Chapter length is set for you”You do not choose how long a chapter is. ResearchDoom sets it from your level and the chapter type. For example, a Literature Review is around 1,200 words at diploma and around 6,000 words at PhD. This is deliberate: most students do not know how long a methodology chapter should be, and the writer follows a proper per-section structure rather than padding to a target.
Chapter structure changes too
Section titled “Chapter structure changes too”Diploma, undergraduate and Master’s work combines Results and Discussion into a single Chapter 4 by default. PhD work splits them into two chapters. Master’s and PhD work also needs a conceptual framework with a diagram.
Diploma is built for the Ugandan TVET context
Section titled “Diploma is built for the Ugandan TVET context”If you set Diploma, ResearchDoom writes for UBTEB diplomas, UNMEB and UAHEB health programmes and NTC education programmes specifically, and matches whichever deliverable you are actually doing: a project report, a research report, or a field attachment report.
Changing your level later
Section titled “Changing your level later”- Locked while a paid plan is active. You cannot change level until your current plan expires. Contact support if you paid at the wrong level.
- After your trial starts, you can move down but not up. You can switch from
Master’s to undergraduate yourself, but not the reverse. If your programme
genuinely changed, contact support at
support.researchdoom@gmail.com. - Nothing is lost when you switch. If you switch level during your trial, or after a plan has ended, each level keeps its own tokens, documents and history. Switch back and everything is where you left it.
- Each level has its own separate token balance and its own plans.
