Code of Conduct

• 1.1 Nexus Reports brings together people from public institutions, science, industry, finance, civil society, Indigenous and local communities and the public. This Code sets the conduct that makes open, global work possible.
• 1.2 It applies on the Site, in contribution and comment channels, repositories, meetings, events, mailing lists and wherever a person represents the programme.

• 2.1 Engage with arguments and evidence, not with people; disagree on substance and give reasons.
• 2.2 Respect expertise and lived experience equally, including knowledge that is not written in English or in published papers.
• 2.3 Use inclusive, plain language; assume good faith and ask before assuming intent.
• 2.4 Declare conflicts of interest when they arise and step aside from decisions where one exists.
• 2.5 Respect confidentiality where it applies: personal information, undisclosed vulnerabilities and the content of reports.

• 3.1 Harassment, discrimination, intimidation and personal attacks, in any form and on any ground.
• 3.2 Sexualised language or imagery, and unwelcome attention.
• 3.3 Sustained disruption of meetings, discussions or the work of others.
• 3.4 Publishing another person's private information without permission.
• 3.5 Misrepresenting evidence, the status of a document or another person's position.
• 3.6 Retaliation against anyone who reports a concern or takes part in its handling.

• 4.1 Concerns may be reported to contact@therisk.global. Describe what happened, when and where, the people involved and any witnesses.
• 4.2 Reports are handled confidentially by people not involved in the matter, designated by GCRI Canada. A report is acknowledged within fourteen days. Anyone in immediate danger should contact local emergency services first.

The measure is proportionate and may begin at any step. The person concerned is heard before a decision, except where urgent protection is needed, and may appeal once, with new information, within thirty days. No one who reports in good faith may suffer retaliation.

• 6.1 This Code is adapted from the Contributor Covenant, version 2.1 (contributor-covenant.org), licensed under CC BY 4.0.
• 6.2 Changes to the Code are published on this page with a new version and effective date.

• ZenodoOpen depositDeposit it and submit to the communityPublish your own record on Zenodo with your ORCID iD, then submit it to the Nexus Reports community. Curators review it there; the DOI stays yours.
• Nexus ReportsGCRISee every way to contributeThe contribution types, how each is reviewed, what credit you receive, the licence and what is never accepted.

Never send personal data, sensitive infrastructure detail or anything you have no right to share. A contribution is reviewed before use; sending it confers no authorship or editorial rights, and sponsorship never buys a finding.
