Why Are Items Rejected?

Not all items submitted to the XR Guild Library will be accepted for display. This is not intended to call into question either submitter or content; rather, items must meet a few basic guidelines. Even otherwise excellent items may be rejected if they do not meet the criteria outlined below. The Library will make a reasonable effort to preserve all submissions but only accepted submissions will be displayed to the public.

Criteria

1. Content must be primarily relevant to XR (VR, AR, Metaverse, etc.)

   1. Simply mentioning an XR technology in passing, for example, would not qualify

2. Content's focus must be at least partially ethical in nature

   1. Many excellent technical XR-related articles exist, but the XR Guild is established primarily for ethical considerations as technology progresses rather than purely for technological progress

3. Content must be publicly available

   1. Very limited exceptions to this rule have been made for early Library submissions, but in general the Library wishes to avoid linking to content which is hidden, behind a paywall, private, etc. to respect the wishes of authors and/or institutions

4. Content must reasonably fall into one or more of the established Library Categories

   1. The Library is open to suggestions for new Categories, but submission of an Item requiring a new Category without prior discussion is more likely to result in rejection than in the creation of a new Category
