Publishing in Nexus Reports is how Nexus Foundry findings reach the Consortium's versioned report series, here Foundry Build and Readiness. A contribution is a reviewed finding with its method, evidence labels and limits; series editors check scope and consistency, and no funder, sponsor or member can buy or block a finding.

Foundry builds are documented in the Foundry Build and Readiness series for engineers, security reviewers and programme owners deciding whether to rely on a build. A specialist looks for provenance, test coverage, assurance review and the limits of validated use. The series rests on safety-critical software and systems engineering practice and covers the twenty technical systems.

The edition is published with its version history.
Challenges are answered and corrections published as new versions.
Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Editorial independence | The condition in which editors decide what is published on the validity and relevance of the work, free from interference by owners, funders or sponsors, as ICMJE and COPE guidance describe it. |
| Living report | A report updated in versions as evidence changes, with each version kept and dated. |
| Grey literature | Material produced outside commercial and academic publishing, such as reports, filings and working papers. |
| Version of record | The fixed version of a work that a publisher formally declares published; later changes appear as dated corrections or new versions, never as silent edits, in the sense NISO's journal article versions recommendation uses. |
The bodies and documents this page is read against. Status and editions change; each link goes to the issuing body.
The current service level is R0: information and enquiries. An enquiry receives a reference and names the next step; applications, payments, compute allocations and registrations open only when their team, terms and review capacity exist.
