It is not "attribution and sourcing" to generate post-hoc citations that have not been read and did not inform the student's writing. Those should be regarded as fraudulent: artifacts testifying to human actions and thought that did not occur.

Does your university have a contract with Grammarly? Write to the decision-maker asking if they think the university should be paying for a tool that is fast integrating features that can only be used for academic misconduct and cognitive offloading and request they drop the contract.

My book, The Future That Was, is about the extraordinary rise of global research on women.
It also about the attacks on & starvation of gender research today by universities who leave only the shell intact, dismantling entire fields of knowledge built by women

Love language of historians and archivists. This here is a romantic poem in archival dialect. Note the internal rhyming structure of the first two verses and the subtle double alliteration in the main body. The coda is elegant yet plentiful, conveying perfectly the fullness of the archival fonds.

Humayun- The Planetary King
We make the case that Humayun was most underestimated of the Mughals. An expert astronomer and astrologer, he was one of the most learned and bookish of his dynasty, accompanied everywhere on this wanderings by a pair of library camels
