Guardians 2024 Report Instructions

Scholarly Publishing

Guardians annual conferences on reproducibility, validity, and integrity serve as an example context for the continuing development of the NPDS Cyberinfrastructure with PDP-DREAM Software and the PORTAL-DOORS Project with application to scholarly research publications and communications. Relevant background references include:

Our content management system will remain under continuous development as we build it on the foundation of the NPDS Cyberinfrastructure for use publishing scholarly research reports. If you encounter any bugs in our software, or would like to contribute suggestions, you may report them to Carl Taswell or Adam Craig. Of course, please also contact us for any questions about the Guardians 2024 Conference.

User Accounts

Research scholars who wish to participate in Guardians 2024 as either authors or reviewers should register a user account at Guardians.BHAVI.us. All registered user accounts are assigned user aliases with random alphanumeric characters for the coded alias. Authors and reviewers remain de-identified during the manuscript review process. Note that user accounts are NOT shared between those for Guardians.BHAVI.us and those for www.BHAVI.us. If you wish to participate in online activities at both sites, then you should register a user account at each. Those at Guardians.BHAVI.us will be de-identified and aliased by default, whereas those at www.BHAVI.us will not. Instead, at www.BHAVI.us, users may choose their own alias with a preferred "display name" aka "screen name".
