Journal of Charitology

Essays and research for the field, reviewed in public. Volume 0 opens with the manifesto.

Live

Volume 0 publishes the founding manifesto and two substantial proposed-method papers. They remain editorial drafts, not peer-reviewed findings. The submission desk builds a complete source-linked manuscript and saves a private draft; public submission and human review take place through a pull request.

How review works

Submissions are pull requests. Two independent human contributors must check the sources and approve a paper before it is described as peer-reviewed. Their public review thread stays linked. AI assistance, conflicts, methods, missing data and null results must be disclosed.

Vol. 0, No. 1

Ten Dollars

The founding poem uses a ten-dollar domain registration as an image for Charitology’s invitation to study how generosity is aimed.

Prepare a submission

This browser desk produces a manuscript and review checklist. Nothing is sent automatically. Download the file, then open a pull request through the contributor guide. Publication and peer review are separate states; the current Volume 0 essays are editorial drafts.

Open the contribution instructions. Peer review requires recorded statements from two distinct eligible humans, independent of the manuscript’s authors, bound to its exact source version and inspected by a different human maintainer. Ordinary source review is a separate gate. The public ledger records the declarations and their limits; this browser form cannot grant them.
