Rules

• • ORCID required — You must authenticate with your ORCID iD to submit. This links your real academic identity to your submissions.
• • Paper details — Title, abstract, PDF, at least one AI author and one human prompter, and at least 1 subject category (up to 5).
• • Email verification — After submitting, you receive a verification email. You have 7 days to click the link or the submission expires.
• • Concurrent submission limits — You can have a limited number of active papers in the pipeline at once, based on your badge level (1 for new/copper, up to 5 for gold).
• • Optional cover image — JPG or PNG to visually represent your paper on the homepage.
• • Updates allowed at Stage 1 — You may update your paper's title, abstract, PDF, and categories while it is at Stage 1. Maximum one version per hour. After endorsement (Stage 2), the paper is locked.

After email verification, a simple commonsense AI check runs automatically. This is not a quality judgment — it is a basic filter to keep out spam and non-academic content. The vast majority of genuine submissions pass.

• • What passes? Anything with a recognizable research question, some content, and basic academic framing. This is a low bar by design.
• • What gets rejected? Only clearly non-academic content: gibberish, test text, spam, promotional material, or harmful content.
• • Cooldowns — A hard rejection imposes a 48-hour submission pause. 3 consecutive borderline results also trigger a 48-hour pause.
• • 3 rejections = 6-month block — If an ORCID account accumulates 3 hard rejections (lifetime total), the account is blocked from submitting for 6 months.
• • Deleting screened-out papers — Authors may delete their screened-out papers. A tombstone record remains in the Screened Out section showing "Deleted Paper" with the dates of submission and withdrawal, as a permanent trace of the former submission.

• • Who can endorse? Any ORCID-authenticated researcher with a Bronze badge or higher (6+ verified journal articles/books on ORCID).
• • How many endorsements? Established authors (1+ ORCID works) need 1 endorsement. New authors (0 ORCID works) need 2 endorsements.
• • Self-endorsement? No. You cannot endorse your own papers.
• • After endorsement — The paper is locked (no more updates) and advances to AI Review eligibility.
• • Withdrawal — Endorsements can only be withdrawn while the paper is still at Stage 1.

Once endorsed, authors submit their paper for AI review powered by Reviewer3.com, which assembles multiple AI reviewers to evaluate the work. AI reviews via Reviewer3.com are free while supplies last.

• • Initial review — Multiple AI reviewers evaluate the full PDF and provide structured comments.
• • No comments? — If the AI finds zero issues, the paper auto-advances to Human Peer Review.
• • Revision rounds — Authors can revise up to 3 times. Each revision submits a new PDF plus a response letter addressing the AI comments.
• • Scoring — Each comment is scored 1-4: (1) Ignored, (2) Weakly acknowledged, (3) Well acknowledged, (4) Fully addressed. All scores must be ≥3 to pass.
• • Desk rejection — If the AI determines the revision fundamentally doesn't address critical concerns, the paper returns to Stage 1 and must be re-endorsed.
• • Exhausted attempts — If all 3 revision attempts fail to meet the score threshold, the paper returns to Stage 1.

Badges are calculated automatically from the number of verified journal articles and books on your ORCID profile. They determine your privileges on JAIGP.

Badge Privileges

• • Endorsement power — Only Bronze, Silver, and Gold badge holders can endorse papers.
• • Concurrent papers — New/Copper: 1, Bronze: 2, Silver: 3, Gold: 5.
• • Endorsement threshold — Papers by New authors require 2 endorsements; all others need 1.
• • Automatic updates — Badges refresh on ORCID login (maximum once per 7 days).

• • Stage deadline — Each stage has a 180-day (6-month) deadline from the time the paper enters that stage.
• • Extensions — Authors can request a 20-day extension once per stage. The editorial board approves or denies the request.
• • Approaching deadline — Email notifications are sent when fewer than 30 days remain.
• • Stale papers — Papers that exceed their deadline are flagged as stale in the admin pipeline.

• • ORCID-only — All users authenticate through ORCID, the global academic identifier. No separate account creation.
• • What ORCID provides — Your name, email(s), affiliation, and publication count are fetched from ORCID on login.
• • Multiple emails — JAIGP tracks all emails associated with your account (from ORCID, paper submissions, and profile edits). You can set any verified email as your primary.
• • Profile — Your profile shows all your papers, ORCID works, and optional links to Google Scholar and Rankless.org.

• • Paper voting — Authenticated users can upvote or downvote any published paper. One vote per user per paper.
• • Open Prompt — The Prompt page lets any authenticated user suggest what JAIGP should build next, and vote on others' suggestions.
• • Prompt sorting — Community prompts can be sorted by newest, top voted, most discussed, or most divisive (how split the vote is).
• • Transparency — Every prompt used to build JAIGP is available in the prompt archive, including a machine-readable JSON download.

JAIGP includes social features to foster collaboration and conversation among researchers.

Community Feed

• • Posts — Any authenticated user can post comments, suggest prompts, or propose rules in the community feed at /prompts. Posts are categorized by type (comment, prompt, or rule) and can be filtered.
• • Replies — Posts can receive threaded replies from any authenticated user.
• • Editing — Authors can edit their own posts and comments within 1 hour of posting. After that, the content is permanent. Edited posts are marked with an "edited" label.
• • Deletion — Authors can delete their own posts and comments at any time.
• • Voting — Users can like or dislike posts and comments. Voting is anonymous but counts are public.
• • AI Summaries — The community feed can be summarized by AI (Claude Haiku) to help users catch up on recent activity.

Following & Search

• • Follow users — Click "Follow" next to any username in the feed or on their profile page. Following is not mutual by default — you can follow someone without them following you back.
• • Notifications — You receive notifications when someone replies to your posts, likes your content, endorses your paper, or sends you a message. Notifications appear as a bell icon in the navigation bar.
• • Search — Use the search page to find papers by title, abstract, category, or author name. You can also search for researchers by name, affiliation, or ORCID ID.

Direct Messages

• • Who can message whom? By default, messaging is open to everyone — any logged-in user can send you a message. You can restrict this to mutual followers only in your profile settings.
• • Privacy control — Toggle "Open to messages from anyone" on or off from your profile page. When off, only users you mutually follow can message you.
• • Email notifications — When you receive a new message, you'll also get an email notification to the email address on your profile.
• • Content rules — Messages are private between the two participants. Using the messaging system for harassment, spam, unsolicited promotion, or abuse will result in immediate account termination.
