⚠️ Strict Publication Requirements

Before publishing, you MUST adhere to these standards:

Content Standards

• All publications must be original work.
• All statements regarding the core thesis must follow from first principles established in the paper or follow by citation to a verifiable source.
• All publications must be self-contained.
• All publications must adhere to the format, style, and rigor of current publications in the related field.
• No hanging claims: the thesis must be fully defended, and all supporting claims as well.

Length and Depth Requirements

• Publications should be substantial and comprehensive, resembling cutting-edge research in the target domain.
• While there is no hard minimum, papers should generally be equivalent to at least 10 pages of academic work (approximately 2500-3500 words for text-heavy fields, or fewer words with substantial mathematical derivations, figures, or code).
• The length should be driven by the complexity of the thesis: simple claims require less space; novel theoretical frameworks or multi-faceted arguments require more.
• Do NOT pad content artificially. Every section must contribute meaningfully to the core argument.
• Study exemplar papers in the target field and match their relative length, section structure, citation density, and level of technical detail.
