A guide to expected behavior and civility in the Pleiades community.

All Pleiades users are expected to maintain civility, fairness, and professional respect for each other, and to exercise good judgment and account for their behavior with respect to use of the Pleiades system, contributions of content and interactions with other users. In particular, the Senior Editors will encourage and enforce the following principles, in accordance with the Pleiades Contributor Agreement.

Editorial Policy

The Managing and Senior Editors are final arbiters of publication decisions. Their expectations for content originality and documentation are outlined in the Citation Policy document.

Civility

Being rude, insensitive or petty makes people upset and stops Pleiades from working well. Be careful to avoid offending people unintentionally, and apologize if you do. Neither excessive swearing or obscenities, nor disrespectful or exclusionary language will be tolerated. Do not disrupt meetings, email lists, or discussion fora with off-topic, inflammatory, or excessive content.

Harassment, Discrimination, and Hate

Do not stop other users from making full use of Pleiades by making threats, using insults, nitpicking good-faith edits, or engaging in annoying and unwanted contacts, personal attacks, or the posting of personal information. Intimidation, stalking, or harassment of others in any form is unacceptable. Conduct that threatens the safety of participants or the community, including speech or actions that constitute or imply harassment, discrimination, or hatred based on race, gender and/or gender identity or expression, color, creed, religion, age, national origin, ethnicity, disability, veteran or military status, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy, genetic information, marital status, citizenship status, or on any other legally prohibited basis in the state of New York will not be tolerated.

Dispute resolution

Please contact the Managing or Senior Editors to help resolve disputes.

Vandalism

Vandalism is any addition, deletion, or change to content (or disruption in services) made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity or availability of Pleiades. It is inappropriate behavior for a collaborative undertaking.
