My girlfriend (let's call her Rose), whichwho is a graduate student, got approached by a person of influence in Rose's industry (call her Elizabeth) whichwho is currently working towards her PhD. Elizabeth asked Rose to "help" her write her literature review, and she will receive moneymonetary compensation. Rose, wanting to make a good acquaintance with Elizabeth, agreed on "helping", andto "help." Elizabeth asked Rose to write 30(!) pages of literature review -- a "rough draft" -- which Elizabeth will use to write her literature review.

I already told Rose this is unethical behavior. However, Rose doesn't want to burn this bridge. Is there a way for Rose to ethically help Elizabeth? Possibly, in a way that Rose's credentials also grow?
