Evidence, expertise and practical experience.

Disagreement is welcome when it improves understanding. Harassment, unsupported claims, undisclosed AI-generated submissions, plagiarism and rights-infringing submissions are not.

Use evidence

Challenge wording with sources, practical examples, professional experience or clear reasoning.

Respect people

Do not submit harassment, discriminatory content, confidential personal data or unsafe accusations.

Disclose AI

Tell editors when AI meaningfully assisted a submission, especially where wording or analysis is generated.

Protect rights

Link or cite protected sources rather than pasting long extracts from standards, books, articles or databases.
