About Findings
A place to publish what people learn about CKey in the real world, written up properly and kept citable.
What it is
Open CKey Findings publishes research write-ups about CKey, the open optical code: analyses of field-test results, comparisons, methods and studies. Each finding is a short paper with an abstract, sections, tables and, where needed, mathematics, and a permanent address on this site.
There are two kinds. Editorial findings are written and published by the Open CKey Project. Community findings are written by people who have run field tests themselves.
How to submit
Anyone who has published at least one field-test result while signed in with GitHub can submit a finding. Write it in Markdown on openckey.org/findings/new, with a live preview, and tick the results it draws on.
Your GitHub username is shown on the paper and links to your GitHub profile. You can add a display name and an affiliation. Keep other people’s personal information out of what you write.
Moderation
Every community submission is screened automatically for safety, by the same check that screens hosted text on openckey.org. A submission that passes is published at once. One that the check flags waits for a person to review it, and is not public until they publish it. The Open CKey Project can hide or reject a finding at any time.
Screening is not peer review. Community findings are the views of their authors; check their methods and data before relying on them. To report a problem with a finding, use Report abuse.
