Policy
Screening and moderation
What we check before a deposit goes public, and what we deliberately do not judge.
What screening is
Every deposit to CONTINUUM Preprints, Books and the Research Archive is screened before it is made public. Screening is an administrative check, not an assessment of quality or importance. Moderators do not judge novelty, significance or whether conclusions are correct.
What we check
Deposits are checked for the following, normally within two working days.
- The work is research-related and within the subject scope of the repository.
- Authorship is complete and a corresponding contact is given.
- The licence is stated and the depositor has the right to grant it.
- No evident plagiarism, fabricated material, personal data or content that is unlawful.
- Files open, and the metadata matches the files.
Proceedings
Papers in CONTINUUM Proceedings are accepted by the event organisers according to the review process the event announced. AEX CONTINUUM checks the volume for completeness and licensing and does not re-review individual papers.
Declined deposits
If a deposit cannot be accepted we say why. Depositors may correct the issue and resubmit, or appeal once by writing to the support address.
