Public value
SCI publishes reviewed editorial content that helps readers decide whether to inspect a paper and gives them enough method context to read it critically.
Rules
- Important scientific claims must be traceable to an adequate source.
- Bibliographic verification is not presented as experimental verification.
- Author-reported results, supporting-source context, and SCI interpretation remain distinguishable.
- Strengths appear with limitations and evidence boundaries.
- Numerical performance claims require a source locator and method context.
- Comparisons state their assumptions and do not create universal winners.
- Protocol-like material remains educational and does not replace institutional safety or validated procedures.
- Public pages contain no private notes, prompts, model logs, or unresolved internal instructions.
Publication states
Content moves from discovery to sources, verified claims, outline, private draft, review, preview, and publication. Only human-approved material enters the public content collection.
SCI may choose not to publish in a given month. A safe non-publication is preferable to a forced or weak selection.
