Standards

Contribution Guidelines

Aevum maintains rigorous standards. Explore our core pillars of contribution.

Writing Encyclopedia Entries

All entries must maintain an encyclopedic tone, prioritize verifiability, and avoid original research or promotional language.

  • Focus on notable, well-documented subjects with reliable secondary sources
  • Maintain neutral point of view (NPOV) across all perspectives
  • Structure with clear headings: Overview, History, Key Concepts, Applications, References
  • Minimum length: 1,500 words for standard entries; 3,000+ for featured topics
  • Use our integrated citation manager to attach DOIs, ISBNs, and URLs
💡 Tip: Drafts under review typically receive feedback within 3–5 business days. Use the internal preview tool before submitting.

Peer Review Process

Quality is safeguarded through a multi-layered review system. Contributors with 50+ published entries automatically qualify as reviewers.

  • AI pre-screening checks for plagiarism, citation validity, and factual consistency
  • Two independent human reviewers evaluate accuracy, tone, and structure
  • Disputes are escalated to domain-specific editorial committees
  • Reviewers earn reputation points and priority access to premium datasets
⚖️ Review decisions are final but can be appealed with new evidence or clarifications within 14 days.

Images, Data & Media

Visual and interactive elements enhance understanding. All media must be properly licensed and accurately described.

  • Accept formats: PNG, SVG, WebP, MP4, interactive JSON datasets
  • Mandatory CC-BY or Public Domain licensing for all uploads
  • Provide detailed alt-text and source attribution for accessibility
  • Vector graphics preferred for diagrams, maps, and scientific illustrations
  • AI-generated media must be clearly labeled and cannot replace primary sources
🎨 Our media team can assist with formatting or conversion if your assets meet quality standards.

Ethics, Citations & Compliance

Academic integrity is non-negotiable. Aevum enforces strict compliance with research ethics and citation standards.

  • APA 7th, Chicago, or IEEE citation styles supported natively
  • Zero tolerance for plagiarism, fabrication, or undisclosed conflicts of interest
  • Declare affiliations, funding sources, or institutional ties when relevant
  • Living topics require quarterly updates or explicit version timestamps
  • AI assistance allowed only for grammar/editing; core research must be human-authored
🔒 Violations result in temporary suspension or permanent revocation of contributor privileges.
