Policies

Public policies

These policies are the public version of Tyche Institute's working rules. They are written for readers, reviewers, collaborators, and editors who need to know what the institute does before trusting its outputs.

AI assistance disclosure

AI-based assistance may be used for drafting support, structural critique, reference checking, code review, formatting, and editorial recalibration. The named author remains responsible for conception, source selection, empirical work, interpretation, final text, and any errors. Manuscripts disclose AI assistance in the paper, cover letter, or submission form according to venue policy.

Tyche does not list AI systems as authors. Authorship remains human and accountable.

The citable policy record is AI Co-authorship and Disclosure Policy v0.2 , adopted 26 May 2026. It is aligned with COPE, IODP Publications, and ICMJE guidance on disclosure, tool identification, and human accountability for AI-assisted scholarly work.

Research ethics

Tyche work that collects or analyzes primary-source community data uses consent, minimization, and context-preserving disclosure. Raw survey data and private logs are not published unless publication was part of the consent basis. When a researcher is part of a studied community, that relationship is declared in the relevant methods or competing-interests section.

Competing interests

Each paper discloses systems the author maintains, financial relationships that could affect interpretation, and the boundary between research and any outside employment or collaboration. Tyche does not present itself as a trust service provider, compliance certifier, legal advisor, or vendor.

Publication hygiene

  • Working papers are labeled as preprints or submissions unless peer review is complete.
  • Versioned deposits use persistent identifiers where possible.
  • Peer-review status changes are reflected on the Research page.
  • References are checked against primary sources where feasible.
  • Claims about standards, law, and regulation are scoped as research analysis, not advice.

Corrections

Corrections are handled by versioned updates, corrected metadata, or explicit status notes on the relevant page. If a submitted or deposited work is rejected, withdrawn, superseded, or corrected, the public record should say so plainly.
