01
The standard
Every submission is screened for scope, completeness, authorship, ethics, registration, reporting standards, data and code availability, conflicts, and whether it can be responsibly hosted. A screened manuscript may be published as a preprint without peer review and must say so prominently on its page, PDF record, and metadata. Work in Kadomony's peer-reviewed track normally receives at least two relevant independent reviews, with methods or statistics review when needed; reviewers disclose conflicts and protect confidential drafts.

How it works in practice
Authors in the peer-reviewed track receive consolidated comments and respond point by point with visible changes; the editor makes the decision rather than counting votes. Externally peer-reviewed work links to the specific reviewed version and names the external venue. Acceptance into the Kadomony Zenodo Community is curation and preservation, not peer review. Status changes never silently relabel an earlier version: preprints, reviewed versions, superseded versions, withdrawals, corrections, and retractions remain explicitly connected. Review does not permit fabricated credentials, hidden ghostwriting, or undisclosed AI-generated analysis.
