01In brief

The short answer.

Publishing in Nexus Reports is how Oceans and Coasts findings reach the Consortium's versioned report series, here Global Sector Risk and Resilience as well as Observatory Signal. 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.

Scoping to review.

Canvas · scoping to reviewDesign, not a record
Publish in Nexus Reports: a programme through its gatesA request with a named owner becomes a scoping note; inputs are qualified at a gate; delivery runs in workstreams; a controlled test and an independent review precede publication; the owner decides. Design of the process, not a record of a run.

07Key terms

Terms used on this page.

Each term as this page uses it. Where a standard-setting body defines the term, the wording follows that body.

TermDefinition
Editorial independenceThe 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 reportA report updated in versions as evidence changes, with each version kept and dated.
Grey literatureMaterial produced outside commercial and academic publishing, such as reports, filings and working papers.
Version of recordThe 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.
