📖 Core Editorial Principles
Every submission must align with these foundational standards. Articles violating these principles will be declined without review.
🔍 Verifiability & Sourcing
All factual claims must be supported by reliable, independent, and preferably peer-reviewed sources. Original research, personal anecdotes, and unverified claims are not permitted.
⚖️ Neutral Point of View
Articles must present multiple perspectives fairly and without editorializing. Avoid loaded language, advocacy, or promotional framing. Let the evidence speak.
🌍 Notability & Scope
Topics must demonstrate significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. Biographies, organizations, and events should meet established notability thresholds for their category.
©️ Originality & Licensing
Submissions must be entirely your own work or properly licensed under Creative Commons BY-SA 4.0. Plagiarism or copyright infringement will result in immediate suspension.
⏱️ Submission & Review Process
Understanding the pipeline helps you prepare stronger submissions and track your contribution effectively.
1. Draft & Self-Verification
Write your article in our Markdown-supported editor. Run our built-in citation checker and tone analyzer before submission.
2. Submit via Contributor Portal
Upload your draft, select the appropriate category, and attach all primary/secondary sources in the reference manager.
3. AI Triage & Formatting Check
Our NLP pipeline scans for structural consistency, citation format, and obvious conflicts with existing entries.
4. Expert Peer Review
Subject-matter editors evaluate accuracy, neutrality, and notability. You may be asked to revise or clarify sections.
5. Publication & Ongoing Monitoring
Approved articles go live within 24-48 hours. Community and editorial teams continue to monitor and update content as new information emerges.
📝 Formatting & Citation Standards
Consistent formatting ensures readability and academic credibility across all languages and disciplines.
Citation Format Example
We support standard academic formats (APA, Chicago, IEEE). Our system auto-formats inline citations into footnotes. Always prioritize primary sources and peer-reviewed journals.
🚫 What We Do Not Accept
Submissions containing the following will be automatically flagged and rejected.
📉 Original Research
New theories, unpublished data, personal experiments, or novel classifications must first appear in recognized academic or professional journals.
📢 Promotional Content
Articles written to market a product, service, organization, or individual. Conflicts of interest must be disclosed and reviewed by independent editors.
🧨 Vandalism & Harmful Material
Defamation, hate speech, doxxing, explicit violence, or deliberate misinformation. Zero tolerance policy enforced by automated and human moderators.
📄 Poorly Sourced Entries
Articles relying on blogs, social media, self-published works, or circular referencing. Reliable secondary sources are mandatory.
