About the journal
How it is conducted
Reviewed in the open
Each manuscript is examined by independent artificial-intelligence models under a fixed rule of decision. The reviews are published in full beside the article.
How review works
Free to authors and readers
There is no charge to submit, none to publish and none to read. Manuscripts are welcome from any discipline and from any country.
Submit a manuscript
Prompt in its decisions
Reviews are ordinarily complete within forty-eight hours, and authors receive a decision, with the reviews themselves, within three working days.
The process
A note on Volume 1
The articles of Volume 1 are the work of the Society’s founder. They are published as a demonstration of the method: each appears with the reviews it received, so that the method may be judged on the evidence rather than on assertion. Manuscripts from other authors are welcome, and are assessed in exactly the same way.
The reliability of the method is itself a subject of inquiry at the Society. See Machine peer review, under Research.
