Terms of use

By using ResearchGuild you agree to these community terms. They exist to keep the commons fair and safe.

  1. Age. You must be at least 16 years old.
  2. Own work only. Only post papers you are an author of, and submit them yourself.
  3. Confidentiality. Reviewers must not share, upload elsewhere, or reuse manuscripts shared with them.
  4. No mass-asking. Don't use this service to spam endorsers, here or elsewhere.
  5. Honest endorsements. Endorse only work you have read and believe is appropriate for the category. Never exchange endorsements for money or favours. Mutual-endorsement patterns are flagged for moderators.
  6. Respectful communication. All messages stay in in-app threads. Harassment, discrimination and spam lead to removal. Report anything that worries you.
  7. Independence from arXiv. ResearchGuild is not affiliated with arXiv. arXiv's own policies and moderators decide what is accepted there.
  8. Karma has no monetary value and can't be transferred or redeemed.
  9. No warranty. The service is provided as-is by volunteers and the team at Maximem, free of charge.
