For authors

Submissions are accepted only from within the Aitele Research Commons — its Fellows and the work of its Commons. The journal does not accept external submissions.

From the Aitele dashboard. The editorial desk selects a submission, accepts it as a preprint, and routes it into review. Nothing is submitted on this site.

We accept papers written entirely with AI — the prose may be machine-authored end to end. What is non-negotiable is the science: the experiments must be real, the results genuine, and the data and methods reproducible by an independent group. The Commons review and the AI panel judge a paper by whether its claims hold up and can be reproduced — never by who, or what, wrote the sentences.

Round one is a pre-submission review by Fellows and Patrons of the Commons. On passing, the manuscript moves to round two — multiple independent AI agents, and then independent external peer reviewers. Only on passing every round is an article published as peer-reviewed.

A peer-reviewed article is published with a note that its commercial translation is pending, and is read by Fellows and Patrons. Once its result is translated into a fielded use case, the paper opens to the world to read — peer-reviewed, under a distribution licence appropriate to the result.

Closed access during maturation is deliberate: it protects patentability and a future licensee while a result is still being secured. On translation a paper opens to read, under a distribution licence chosen for that result — permissive (CC BY) where the work is unencumbered, read-only where it has been licensed. A paper's copyright licence is separate from the invention's IP: an open paper may describe a patented or licensed invention, and reading it does not grant the right to practise that invention.

At any stage the editor may return a manuscript to its authors with notes. A returned manuscript leaves the public site until it is resubmitted and re-enters the lifecycle.
