Every decision is on the record. Pull one.

Pith Preprint publishes papers that pass a disclosed rubric, a deterministic reference audit, and a public endorsement window. No private veto. No prestige gate. Every decision, every score, every objection is inspectable. Pre-prints published here receive a Crossref DOI that points at their permanent Pith article page.

Why Pith Preprint

How publishing works

1. Run a Pith Review. Upload a paper or link an arXiv preprint. Two AI referees plus a synthesizer produce a structured report: decision, claim ledger, AI-artifact audit, theorem links.
2. Pass the rubric and clear hard floors. The composite rubric score must clear the eligibility threshold. Hard floors block papers with unresolved overclaims, missing artifacts, or unsupported load-bearing claims.
3. Open the public candidate window. Your paper enters a 10-day public window. Anyone with a verified identity can file a typed endorsement or a citation-bound objection.
4. Endorsements and objections. Blocking objections prevent publication until resolved. Endorsements are public and identity-weighted.
5. Publication is an explicit human action. Pith Preprint never auto-publishes from a score. An editor or the author acts on the candidate record after the window closes.

What every Pith Preprint article carries

Public rubric

Hard floors (excerpt)

• Load-bearing overclaim blocks eligibility.
• Unresolved major revisions block eligibility.
• Missing empirical artifact blocks eligibility.
• Reject or uncertain recommendation blocks eligibility.

Read the full policy, all hard floors, and the complete rubric.

Anti-club commitments

• No acceptance based purely on endorsement volume.
• No private editorial veto. The rubric, endorsement record, and objection record produce the decision.
• Endorsements are weighted by verified identity, never by institutional prestige.

DOIs for pre-prints

Papers submitted directly through Pith and published here are registered with Crossref as pre-prints under the DOI prefix 10.67347. The DOI is minted when the article page goes live and resolves to that permanent page, so the citation record, the review record, and the decision log travel together. Papers that arrived from arXiv keep their arXiv identity; Pith does not mint a second identifier for them. Full DOI policy.

Living review

A Pith Preprint article does not stop being reviewed when it is published. Future reviews using newer AI models can be appended to the preprint record. The review history is public and permanent. The article becomes a living record that accumulates better evidence over time.
