Research Nexus Score is public infrastructure for the scholarly community. We are committed to providing a welcoming and constructive environment for everyone, regardless of background, identity, or experience level.
Expected behavior:
- Engaging with respect and good faith
- Providing constructive feedback with actionable suggestions
- Accepting that the scoring methodology is a work in progress and open to challenge
- Crediting others' contributions and ideas
- Focusing on what is best for the scholarly community
Unacceptable behavior:

This code of conduct applies to all project spaces — GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, and any community channels.
This project invites challenges to its scoring methodology. Disagreeing with weights, dimensions, or design decisions is not only acceptable — it's how the methodology improves. File an issue, make your case, propose an alternative. The only requirement is that critique be specific and constructive.
Instances of unacceptable behavior may be reported to varma2friend@gmail.com. All reports will be reviewed and responded to promptly.
This Code of Conduct is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 2.1.
