QuantumSpark standards

Research and Editorial Standards

QuantumSpark is built for serious student research. These standards define how learning material, research outputs, and AI-assisted workflows should earn trust.

Sourcing

Learning resources and research pages should cite stable sources such as arXiv, journals, textbooks, official documentation, datasets, repositories, or mentor-reviewed notes.

Mentor Review

Student research outputs should identify review status clearly: draft, mentor reviewed, submitted, published, or archived.

AI Use

AI tools may support explanation, drafting, search, and reading assistance, but students remain responsible for verification, attribution, and original reasoning.

Authorship

Project pages should credit student authors, mentors, collaborators, code/data contributors, and acknowledgments where applicable.

Corrections

Material that is outdated, incorrect, broken, or insufficiently sourced should be revised or hidden until it is trustworthy again.
