Three steps for responsible work

Prepare the Context

The planned submission will request provenance, known dates, participants, restrictions, and reasons the material matters.

Rights and Consent

Editors will require confirmation of the contributor's authority, use conditions, and consent from identifiable people.

Material is intended for review of relevance, reliability, cultural care, safety, and rights status.
