Publication types
Tradition-specific teaching identifies its tradition and teacher. Comparative study distinguishes each tradition’s claims and methods. Assembly commentary is our interpretive contribution. Founding essays are published as commentary, not passed off as peer-reviewed research.
Rights and attribution
Identify translation, editor, edition, license, source URL, access date and any modifications before reproducing material. Permission for one version does not cover every version on a platform. Where rights are unclear, use a source link. Sefaria, manuscript institutions and other publishers are sources, not implied partners or endorsers.
Review workflow
Proposal → source and rights review → draft → subject review where needed → accessibility and copy review → publication → correction history. No automatic AI-to-publication pipeline is enabled. AI-assisted material is labeled, and named human review is only claimed when recorded.
Corrections and disagreement
Distinguish factual correction, translation revision and competing interpretation. Preserve a material correction’s date, reason and affected version. Do not erase an opposing view merely because it is inconvenient. Remove private information and unsafe content when needed, retaining restricted audit evidence appropriately.
Contributors and consent
Interview consent, quotation permission and image permission are separate decisions. A public story is never the price of assistance. No private submission endpoint is currently offered; do not post sensitive corrections or case information in public channels.
