-An independent research institute in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We build and operate open editorial infrastructure for independent and heterodox researchers — work the traditional peer-review system filters out before reading.

-> Independent and heterodox researchers have legitimate cause to be skeptical of black-box editorial AI. The reasonable response is not to hide the system behind a "trust us." The reasonable response is to publish it.

-## What we do
+> **Independent and heterodox researchers have legitimate cause to be skeptical of black-box editorial AI. The reasonable response is not to hide the system behind a "trust us." The reasonable response is to publish it.**
 
-- Run an open peer-review pipeline — 5-reviewer AI panel + Review-Quality-Control audit + human curator sign-off — with the redacted review record published alongside every accepted paper.
-- Publish *Persistence*, an annual journal in print and ebook. No APCs, authors retain copyright. First issue: May 2027.
-- Open-source the editorial machinery so anyone can audit it, fork it, or run it themselves.

-## What lives on Hugging Face
+## What ICSAC does
 
-- **[`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 to *Persistence*. Submission handler, rubrics, prompts, citation checks, redaction layer, and the audit pass that scores the panel itself. Mirror of [`github.com/ICSAC/editorial-system`](https://github.com/ICSAC/editorial-system).

+| **🜁 *Persistence*** | Annual journal — print paperback, ebook, and free curation records online. No APCs. Authors retain copyright. First issue **May 2027**. |
+| **🜃 Open machinery** | Prompts, rubrics, scoring code, citation verification, redaction layer, RQC audit — published. Fork it, audit it, run it yourself. |
 
-One defensive exception: the prompt-injection signal in the RQC audit is not published, to avoid teaching adversarial submissions what to evade. Everything else is in the open.
