Every decision is on the record. Pull one.

Pith Preprint is two tiers. The preprint record is open: any reviewed paper publishes immediately after a deterministic integrity screen, with its full review attached as public metadata; the judgment is displayed, never a door. Journal promotion is selective: a disclosed rubric, hard floors, and a public endorsement window. No private veto. No prestige gate. Every decision, every score, every objection is inspectable.

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. Publish the preprint record. One click. A deterministic integrity screen (duplication, fabricated bibliography, format, abuse) and a desk screen for noise run in the same pass; a clean manuscript publishes immediately with the full review attached as public metadata. A critical review does not block the record; it travels with it.
3. Integrity holds go to a human. Only integrity-class failures hold a manuscript, and every hold carries its evidence to a human queue. Disagreement, unfashionable topics, and weak results are never hold reasons.
4. Request journal promotion (optional, selective). The composite rubric must clear the eligibility threshold and the hard floors; the paper then enters a 10-day public window where verified identities file typed endorsements or citation-bound objections.
5. Journal publication is an explicit human action. Promotion never auto-publishes from a score. An editor acts on the candidate record after the window closes. The preprint record is unaffected by the outcome.

What every Pith Preprint article carries

Public rubric (journal promotion tier)

The rubric gates journal promotion only. The preprint record does not use it; a preprint carries its rubric score as displayed metadata.

Hard floors (excerpt; journal promotion only)

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