Editorial Policy
Our editorial selection follows a four-tier priority system:
- Transformative (40%): Breakthroughs that solve fundamental problems or open new directions.
- Connectivity & Application (25%): Cross-disciplinary relevance, real-world applications, bio-inspired, philosophical dialogue.
- Narrative (20%): Unexpected discoveries, elegant designs, connections to notable figures.
- Visual & Counter-intuitive (15%): Aesthetically striking images, results that defy intuition.
Coverage Scope
We cover open-access scientific publications including:
- arXiv — Preprints across physics, computer science, mathematics, and more
- Physical Review X (PRX) — Open-access physics journal
- Nature Communications and Science Advances — Open-access journals
- Other open-access journals as we expand
AI & Copyright
LoomSci articles are human-edited with AI assistance. Our workflow ensures meaningful human creative control at every stage:
- Selection: Human editors choose which research to cover based on editorial criteria
- Drafting: AI assists in initial drafting; editors review, revise, and approve
- Editing: Our editorial platform includes direct text editing capabilities, and editors may modify any part of an article
- Approval: Every article requires human approval before publication
- Imagery: AI-generated heading images are reviewed by editors before publication
We maintain editorial logs and version records that document the human editorial process. Our approach aligns with platforms like Substack, which permits AI-assisted creation by individuals.
Citation Policy
We cite original research papers and provide source references in every article. Our standard format:
- First Author et al., Title, source identifier (e.g., arXiv:XXXX.XXXXX)
- Links to original papers are provided where available
- We do not fabricate quotes, interviews, or expert commentary
Corrections
We strive for accuracy. When errors are identified:
- Factual errors are corrected promptly with a correction notice
- Significant updates are noted at the bottom of the article
- We do not silently alter published content in ways that change meaning
