A named dataset version, methodology section, evidence brief or record cluster—not the initiative in the abstract.
External accountability
Review with
a defined scope.
A published review records exactly what a person examined, what changed and what their name does—and does not—support.
PUBLICATION STANDARD
Consent first.
Scope always.
Private correspondence, an invitation, a meeting or silence is never treated as a review. A name appears here only after the reviewer approves the role, wording, affiliation, reviewed item and disclosure.
Institutional affiliation identifies the reviewer. It does not convert an individual review into an institutional endorsement. Logos require separate written authorization.
A reviewer may identify an error or improve a method without endorsing the initiative, its future publications or a policy position.
PUBLIC REGISTER
ONE REVIEW RECORD
What readers
will be able to inspect
The exact factual, methodological or interpretive questions the reviewer was asked to consider.
No material issues, corrections adopted or open questions recorded. Disagreement is not hidden.
Accepted changes link to the dataset version or public corrections log that records what changed.
Review one thing well.
