Publish your work

Submissions are read by named reviewers with faculty oversight. That is editorial review, not double blind peer review, and we say so on every record we publish. Blinding at this scale would be theater, and signed review is both the honest option and the better teacher.

What you get is a permanent, indexed, citable record: its own URL that never changes, a stable identifier, a formatted citation, and metadata that lets search engines and scholarly indexes find it. That is worth linking from an application years later, and it does not require anyone to claim it is something it is not.

1. Structural checks run first. Anything a machine can check is checked before a person is involved. Failures are shown against the section that failed, so you fix them instead of hearing about them a week later.
2. Every co-author has to have accepted. A submission listing someone who has not accepted cannot proceed.
3. The record is created and you get a tracking link that works without logging in.
4. All co-authors are emailed the tracking link and the expected timeline.
5. An editor screens it for scope, ethics flags, and prior publication.
6. One or two reviewers are assigned, each with a due date.
7. You get one consolidated list of what to change, not raw reviewer output. Two reviewers who contradict each other are the editor's problem to resolve, not yours.

There are at most two revision rounds. After the second, the editor accepts or declines. Without a cap, submissions live forever and the queue becomes a graveyard. You can withdraw at any point before publication.

• Pre-submission checklist

  The human-readable mirror of the automated checks. If it is on this list, the system checks it.

• How review works

  Every state, what it means, how long it takes, who decides, and how to withdraw.

• Authorship

  Who counts as an author, how order is decided, and what the contributions statement has to say.

• Ethics and eligibility

  Human participants, animals, hazardous materials, AI disclosure, and work presented somewhere else first.
