Authorship, attribution and responsible publication
04Creator Standards & Rights
The standards protecting original work, traditional sources, communities, learners, and the integrity of publication.
The principle
A trusted platform should preserve both the creator’s voice and the learner’s context.
What the policy covers
Commitments people can understand and use.
- 01
Ownership remains clear
Creators retain ownership unless a separate, explicit agreement says otherwise.
- 02
Attribution travels with the work
Names, roles, sources, translators, lineages, archives, and relevant affiliations remain visible.
- 03
Rights before publication
Permissions, licences, consent, public-domain status, and restricted uses are established.
- 04
Editorial responsibility
Review clarity, provenance, safety, and fit without silently rewriting perspective.
- 05
Corrections and withdrawal
Maintain version history and fair processes for correction, dispute, restriction, or removal.
