Scope
Institute for Complexity Science and Advanced Computing (ICSAC) accepts preprints, technical reports, datasets, and code artifacts addressing pattern persistence and loss, emergence and phase transitions, dimensional scaling laws, substrate-independence, information-theoretic measures of structure, and computational foundations of complex systems.
Standards
Submissions must be:
- Openly licensed (CC-BY, CC-BY-SA, CC0, or equivalent)
- Methodologically transparent, with sufficient detail for replication or critical evaluation
- Free of undisclosed commercial interest
Formal peer-reviewed status is welcomed but not required.
Review
Submission is open; inclusion is moderated. Records are reviewed by ICSAC curators against the Institute's programmatic scope and methodological standards. Acceptance indicates that the Institute considers the work a substantive contribution to complexity science, nonlinear dynamics, dimensional scaling, or substrate-independent computation.
Acceptance does not constitute formal peer review, nor does it transfer any rights in the underlying work; authors retain the license terms declared at upload.
Process
Upload the record to Zenodo under your own account, then submit it to the ICSAC community from the record page. Curators review within thirty days. Decisions are recorded in the community log.
Affiliation
Authors of accepted records are invited to be listed on the Institute's publications hub and, at the discretion of the editorial board, may be approached regarding reviewer or affiliate roles in ICSAC's forthcoming peer-reviewed journal.
