Community Guidelines
NobleBlocks is built for scientific publishing, peer review, and collaboration. These guidelines ensure a productive, inclusive environment for researchers, reviewers, and the broader scientific community.
1.Respectful Communication
- Treat all members with courtesy and professionalism.
- Engage in constructive discussions — disagreeing is fine, but personal attacks, insults, and harassment will not be tolerated.
- Avoid hateful speech, discrimination, or offensive language based on race, ethnicity, gender, religion, disability, or any other characteristic.
- Do not engage in doxxing, bullying, or intimidation of any kind.
2.Scientific Integrity & Ethical Conduct
- Uphold scientific integrity by providing honest, evidence-based feedback when reviewing research.
- Plagiarism, falsifying data, and AI-generated misinformation are strictly prohibited.
- Disclose conflicts of interest when reviewing manuscripts or engaging in discussions.
- Cite sources properly when sharing information or referencing research.
3.Peer Review Best Practices
- Provide thoughtful, constructive, and unbiased peer reviews.
- Avoid making vague or dismissive comments — reviews should help improve research.
- Do not share, leak, or distribute unpublished manuscripts or confidential reviewer comments.
- If you identify a major ethical concern (e.g., plagiarism, data fabrication, or ethical misconduct), report it through NobleBlocks’ official channels.
4.Responsible Use of AI & Automation
- AI-assisted research audits and peer review feedback should be used as guidance, not absolute truth.
