How ISOM Selects, Prepares, and Updates Research Analysis
This page describes the public editorial standards used for content published on ISOM. It is meant to explain what the site tries to publish, what it will hold back, and how readers can evaluate the way an article was prepared.
Scope and article types
ISOM publishes several kinds of public pages, but not every internal workflow result is meant for public release.
- Paper analyses: These pages summarize methods, evidence, and limitations from a research paper.
- Editorial notes: These pages explain site operations, publication decisions, or process changes.
- Conference tracking: These pages organize deadlines and research venues for reader use.
Source and verification standards
ISOM prefers official and attributable sources before a public page is published. A weaker source packet lowers the chance that a page should stay public.
- Preferred sources: DOI records, publisher pages, conference pages, and accessible full text when available.
- Metadata checks: Title, venue, publication timing, and source links should be checked before publication.
- Insufficient evidence: If source access is incomplete or unreliable, a page may be held back, revised, or removed.
Drafting disclosure
ISOM uses AI tools to help organize source material and draft explanations. Automation can speed up preparation, but it does not by itself make a page ready for publication.
- Workflow role: AI may assist with structuring material, summarizing sections, and preparing an initial draft.
- Publication threshold: Automated output alone is not the standard for public release.
- Reader disclosure: Public pages should make the editorial process and article type visible.
Language and translation standards
ISOM treats the English article as the primary public edition. Translations may exist as drafts, but they are not published by default.
- English-first publication: The primary public version is the English article.
- Draft translations: Translation drafts may be generated for internal preparation.
- Publication restraint: Translations should be published only when they are ready to stand as public pages.
Corrections, removals, and updates
Public research analysis should stay revisable. When evidence improves or a rights concern is raised, the page should be able to change.
- Correction channel: Readers can report errors, source problems, and rights concerns by email.
- Editorial updates: Summaries, metadata, and article bodies may be revised after publication.
- Removal option: ISOM may remove a page when reliability or rights questions cannot be resolved.
