RESEARCH PRINCIPLES

Science begins with trust.

Openness to new ideas must be matched by methodological rigor, respect for authorship, privacy, and voluntary participation.

These principles describe the EMPIRAXIS approach. Specific studies and projects have their own participant information and agreements.

Research integrity

Claims and interpretations must match available evidence and appropriate methods. Hypotheses should not be presented as established findings.

Voluntary participation

Surveys, Expert Circle membership, and collaborations are separate voluntary formats. Participation in one does not automatically enroll you in another.

Attribution and contributions

Sharing an idea does not itself transfer rights. Quotations, reuse, and co-authorship are agreed in relation to actual contributions and project rules.

Separation of data

Research responses and professional contact records serve different purposes and should not be merged automatically, particularly where an anonymous survey is promised.

Protecting unpublished work

Please do not submit confidential manuscripts or sensitive data through open surveys or initial correspondence. Special handling requires prior agreement.

Accurate representation

We do not claim unconfirmed partnerships, accreditations, laboratories, or publications. Project outcomes will be described once substantiated.
