Scientexa Hub Charter

A public commitment to evidence infrastructure.

Scientexa Hub is a scientific infrastructure platform for identity, provenance, integrity and continuity of scientific assets. This Charter defines its purpose, limits, operational principles and relationship with open science.

Science needs memory, not only publication.

Articles, datasets, protocols, files, versions and institutional records should not remain scattered across fragile links and isolated systems. Scientexa Hub exists to organize scientific objects around declared evidence.

Purpose

What Scientexa Hub is.

Scientexa Hub is not a journal, not a publisher, not a peer-review authority and not a replacement for repositories. Scientexa Hub is an infrastructure layer that helps scientific objects become identifiable, verifiable and operationally traceable.

Identity Scientexa Hub creates structured public records for scientific assets and their versions.
Evidence Scientexa Hub records declared metadata, files, checksums, provenance and public validation paths.
Continuity Scientexa Hub maintains relationships between objects, contributors, institutions and operational events.

Foundational principles

The Scientexa Hub operating doctrine.

01 Evidence before claim No statement should exceed the evidence recorded in the public or internal record.
02 Boundary before service Every service begins with scope review before quotation, issuance or technical commitment.
03 Integrity before visibility Public validation must favor traceability and file integrity over decorative presentation.
04 Continuity before novelty The platform exists to preserve operational memory, not to inflate claims of innovation.
05 Independence before revenue Commercial services must not influence editorial decisions, peer review or scientific acceptance.

Editorial independence

The Editorial boundary.

Scientexa Hub may support the financial and operational sustainability of open-science infrastructure. However, Scientexa Hub services must remain separated from editorial decisions, manuscript acceptance, peer review, corrections, retractions and publication policy.

No pay-to-publish Scientexa Hub cannot be used to sell article acceptance, faster publication or editorial advantage.
No merit transfer An Scientexa Hub Passport does not certify scientific quality, validity, originality or clinical relevance.
No hidden endorsement Scientexa Hub records evidence. It does not imply institutional or editorial endorsement unless explicitly stated.

Operational limits

What Scientexa Hub must not become.

Not a merit authority Scientexa Hub must not present evidence records as proof of scientific truth.
Not a legal ownership system Scientexa Hub records declarations and evidence, but does not adjudicate intellectual property disputes.
Not automatic preservation Preservation status must be declared honestly and must not be implied by visual design.
Not an editorial shortcut Scientific acceptance remains outside Scientexa Hub operational services.

Preserve. Connect. Move science.

The Scientexa Hub Charter is not a marketing statement. It is the boundary that keeps the platform useful, credible and compatible with responsible open science.
