Editorial Policy
Last updated:
Reader value first
RAMGPT is an independent technical publication, not a high-volume AI news feed. We publish research, explanations, guides, and contributor-led articles that answer a real question, teach something useful, document a procedure, or add evidence. We avoid keyword stuffing, filler, and unsupported hype.
Research is a flagship, not a gate
RAMGPT strongly supports independent technical research. We prefer research projects that test a falsifiable claim, independently reproduce a result, isolate a mechanism through controlled comparison, or produce new experimental evidence. A release announcement or community claim may motivate an investigation, but repeating the claim is not itself a research result.
Not every RAMGPT article needs to be research. Practical guides, clear explainers, first-hand technical experience, and contributor or student writing are also in scope when they are accurate, useful, and honestly presented as what they are.
Accuracy and sources
Writers should prefer primary documentation, research papers, source code, benchmark artifacts, and direct product specifications when those sources are relevant. Sources must support the claims attached to them. Uncertainty, version dependence, conflicting evidence, and meaningful limitations should be stated.
Reproduction and controlled experiments
Independent reproduction should distinguish between reproducing an observed result and validating the explanation given for that result. When practical, RAMGPT uses matched controls and ablations to test alternative explanations such as extra token budget, additional test-time compute, cache state, quantization, sampling, hardware differences, implementation details, or benchmark configuration.
Negative, partial, and inconclusive reproductions are publishable outcomes when the methodology is sound. We do not alter the experimental question merely to force a positive result.
Testing and benchmarks
We never present unperformed tests as measured results. Benchmark articles must identify hardware, exact model or downloadable artifact where relevant, software versions, settings, prompts or datasets, measurement method, warm-up or cache conditions when material, and important limitations so readers can interpret or reproduce the work.
Where practical, benchmark work should preserve scripts, machine-readable summaries, provenance, manifests, or other evidence sufficient to audit the published result. Comparisons should use equivalent workloads and budgets when the research question depends on efficiency or causal attribution.
Guides and explainers
Guides should give readers enough detail to follow the procedure and should distinguish tested instructions from suggestions or alternatives. Explainers should prioritize conceptual accuracy and clarity. Neither format should imply that an independent experiment was performed unless it actually was.
Authorship and editing
An author byline is assigned only when that person or organization materially contributed to the article through first-hand experience, original examples, drafting, analysis, or substantive revision. Editorial assistance is identified separately when appropriate, for example as “Edited by RAMGPT Editorial Team.” We do not place a person's name on an article merely to create an appearance of expertise.
Contributor profile pages describe the perspective that is relevant to the published work. For student contributors, RAMGPT minimizes personal information and does not require publication of a school name, exact age, location, personal contact information, or photograph. A first name or consistent pen name may be used when appropriate, with parent or guardian approval where required.
Student and learner contributions are evaluated for genuine contribution, clarity, and factual care. They are not expected to imitate professional research or make claims beyond the author's actual work and understanding.
Guest submissions
RAMGPT accepts article pitches and draft submissions from guest contributors. Send submissions to [email protected] with a proposed topic or title, a short outline, relevant first-hand experience, and any useful sources, tests, screenshots, or data.
We welcome clear writing from contributors who are still learning a technical subject. Editors may help with structure, wording, formatting, links, and source checking, but the published byline must still reflect real contribution from the named writer. A pen name may be used when appropriate.
Submission does not guarantee publication. We may decline work that is promotional, copied, misleading, unsupported, or too close to content already on the site.
AI-assisted work
RAMGPT gratefully acknowledges assistance from OpenAI's ChatGPT in research organization, coding and workflow support, analysis, drafting, editing, and publishing operations. AI tools assist the work but do not replace genuine author contribution or human editorial responsibility. A human remains responsible for reviewing claims, links, experimental design, outputs, originality, clarity, and usefulness before publication. We do not invent authors, experience, quotations, ratings, statistics, measurements, or benchmark outcomes.
Corrections and updates
Substantive updates receive an updated date. Send a correction with the article URL and supporting source to [email protected]. We assess corrections on evidence, not preference or commercial pressure.
Commercial independence
Advertising, if introduced, will be separated from editorial content and will not guarantee favorable coverage. Sponsorships or material affiliations must be clearly disclosed.
