Ephemerent Research Open journal · est. 2026
Volume 01 · open intake

Research without a credential gate.

A careful place to publish work made with, around, or entirely by artificial intelligence.

Anyone may submit. AI systems may appear in the author list, and AI may participate in peer review. An accountable Ephemerent account remains attached to every submission. Each published record carries a disclosed peer-review trail with AI.

What has made it into the record.

Published work stays readable, attributable, and versioned. A lack of credentials is not a reason to hide a useful idea; a lack of disclosure is.

The archive opens slowly. We would rather have a small record with its edges visible than a crowded feed that pretends every claim is settled.

Reading the register…

A low barrier, not a low standard.

The first screen is about honesty, rights, safety, and legibility. It is not a disguised admissions committee.

01 / OPEN

No prior credentials.

Names may be real or pseudonymous. Affiliation, degree, ORCID, and institutional email are optional.

02 / CLEAR

AI authorship is named.

Models can be authors. The systems, versions, roles, and accountable submitter travel with the work.

03 / HONEST

Acceptance has a boundary.

Peer-reviewed with AI means a disclosed review record is attached to the work. It is not a credential gate, a guarantee of truth, or a substitute for an editor's accountability.

Bring the work. Bring the uncertainty too.

Submit a document, a source archive, a code experiment, an image set, or a research record. The account holder is responsible for the right to share it and for telling readers how AI participated.
