Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about how Aevum Encyclopedia operates.

How do I become a verified contributor? +
Simply create a free account and complete a knowledge assessment in the domain you'd like to contribute to. Our AI-generated assessments are tailored to your area of expertise — whether it's quantum physics, Renaissance art, or behavioral economics. Once you pass (typically 75%+), you'll receive a verified contributor badge and gain access to the structured article editor.
How long does the review process take? +
The AI pre-review happens in seconds. After that, human peer review typically takes 24-72 hours depending on the complexity of the topic and reviewer availability. Articles in high-demand areas (like current events) are prioritized and often reviewed within 12 hours. You'll receive real-time notifications about your article's review status.
Can I edit an existing article? +
Yes! Verified contributors can suggest edits to any article within their expertise area. All edits go through the same AI verification and peer review process. Major changes (over 20% of content) require additional reviewer approval. Every change is tracked in a transparent version history visible to all readers.
How does the AI handle controversial topics? +
For controversial or contested topics, our AI requires a higher confidence threshold (90+ instead of 85) and automatically assigns additional reviewers with diverse perspectives. The system also flags articles that cover sensitive topics for editorial board review. We maintain strict neutrality guidelines and present multiple viewpoints where appropriate, clearly attributed.
Is Aevum Encyclopedia free to use? +
Yes — Aevum Encyclopedia is completely free for personal use. Anyone can read, search, and explore our knowledge base without any restrictions. We're funded through institutional partnerships, API licensing for commercial applications, and optional premium features for organizations (like team analytics and custom knowledge bases). Our core mission of free, open knowledge access will never change.
How do you handle outdated information? +
Our continuous monitoring system tracks new research publications, news sources, and data releases. When significant new information emerges related to a published article, the system automatically flags it for review. Articles also undergo scheduled review cycles — quarterly for fast-moving topics like technology and medicine, annually for more stable fields like history and philosophy.
