+# Institute for Complexity Science and Advanced Computing
+
+ICSAC is a small research institute in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We build and operate open editorial infrastructure for independent and heterodox researchers — work that the traditional peer-review system filters out before reading.
+
+## What lives here
+
+- **[`editorial-system`](https://huggingface.co/spaces/ICSAC-Institute/editorial-system)** — the open-source AI editorial pipeline that receives, reviews, and adjudicates every submission to ICSAC and its journal *Persistence*. Prompts, rubrics, scoring code, RQC audit, citation verification — all of it. Mirror of [`github.com/ICSAC/editorial-system`](https://github.com/ICSAC/editorial-system).
+
+## Where we publish
