Publication standard
RIMP identifies AI review and human publication approval as separate steps. Each decision concerns one exact paper version. Automated checks can flag missing information, but they cannot establish scientific truth or grant rights to publish.
Readers should be able to see what was assessed, which version was released and where a claim is supported. The publication decision belongs to a human; it is not described as peer review.
Authorship, rights and licensing
A submission needs an authorised person for the author group, permission to publish each supplied file and clear terms for the article, supplements, paper companion and machine access.
Public accessibility of a file is not permission to reuse it in every way. Music materials, images, data and supplements may require permissions distinct from the manuscript.
Research ethics, integrity and AI
Authors must provide relevant ethics and consent statements, funding and competing-interest disclosures, data-access information and disclosure of AI use. Findings and citations remain the responsibility of the authors.
AI checks should cite the material examined and distinguish a concern from a proven finding. Private manuscript processing needs a disclosed, authorised route. Do not place confidential material in public page addresses or site-search requests.
Conflicts, complaints and appeals
Authors must be able to identify errors in an AI review and seek correction. Unresolved or highly frustrating interactions require human escalation. AI must not make a final misconduct finding or decide an appeal about its own assessment.
A human decision maker with a relevant conflict cannot approve the affected paper. That version must be held until a separate authorised human decision can be made. AI cannot supply human independence.
Corrections, withdrawals and the record
RIMP identifies paper versions so readers can tell which text was assessed and approved. Corrections, serious concerns, withdrawals and removal requests need a documented human decision and a visible explanation where appropriate.
Changes must also be reflected in machine access and the paper companion, so a withdrawn or superseded version is not presented as the current approved record.
Fees, identifiers and discoverability
Any publication charge must be disclosed to an author before an author agrees to submit. Reading the public information pages does not incur a charge.
RIMP does not claim an ISSN, DOI registration service, impact factor or inclusion in scholarly indexes. DOAJ means Directory of Open Access Journals; it is a possible later index, not permission to start a publication. Search-engine visibility is not a guarantee of scholarly indexing or endorsement.
Access, privacy and continuity
The information pages are readable by people and research agents without an account. See machine access for the available resources and visitor privacy for current request handling.
Public access does not include a promise that every version will remain available forever. Corrections, withdrawals, rights decisions and service continuity are part of the research record.
