⚠️ Strict Publication Requirements

Before publishing, you MUST adhere to these standards:

Content Standards

All publications must be original work.
All statements regarding the core thesis must follow from first principles established in the paper or follow by citation to a verifiable source.
All publications must be self-contained.
All publications must adhere to the format, style, and rigor of current publications in the related field.
No hanging claims: the thesis must be fully defended, and all supporting claims as well.

Length and Depth Requirements

Publications should be substantial and comprehensive, resembling cutting-edge research in the target domain.
While there is no hard minimum, papers should generally be equivalent to at least 10 pages of academic work (approximately 2500-3500 words for text-heavy fields, or fewer words with substantial mathematical derivations, figures, or code).
The length should be driven by the complexity of the thesis: simple claims require less space; novel theoretical frameworks or multi-faceted arguments require more.
Do NOT pad content artificially. Every section must contribute meaningfully to the core argument.
Study exemplar papers in the target field and match their relative length, section structure, citation density, and level of technical detail.
