Guidelines for Authors

Author Registration

To become an author on Plenum, you must register as an author.
The first step in registration is selecting a profile type. You can choose between a 'Personal Profile' and an 'Author Profile.' To proceed with author registration, select 'Author Profile.'
During registration, you need to provide the following information: full name, email address, password, city and residential address, and phone number. Additionally, you must submit exactly 2 articles in PDF format, allowing the Plenum administrator to verify your author status. The final step is uploading a profile picture, which is mandatory. All entered information, except for your full name, can be modified later in your profile settings.

Verification Process

After completing the registration, you will receive a verification link via email. Clicking the link will activate your profile as a regular user account. You will obtain author status only after approval by the administrator. Once your author profile is approved, you will receive an email notification, after which you must log in again to start publishing articles.

Creating and Publishing an Article

As an author profile user, you have the ability to create articles. Publishing articles on Plenum is simple, and authors need to submit at least five articles as proof of previous experience, which will be subsequently reviewed for approval or rejection. In this way, from the very beginning, we aim to protect the concept of the portal from potential misuse and inappropriate content. In a very short period, if the author meets the criteria, they become a user of our portal and will be able to publish articles at any time in the future. An article must contain a title, description, cover photo, and at least 40 words in order to be saved. The saved article will be found in drafts on your profile. Articles can be edited and deleted within 24 hours of publication.

An article can remain in drafts indefinitely, but after the first publication, you have 24 hours to return it to drafts, edit it, or delete it. After 24 hours, you will no longer be able to make any changes to the article, nor delete it.

What Do We Expect from Authors?

No specific academic qualifications are required to write and publish articles. Authors are expected to adhere to professional and ethical journalism standards. Copying identical news from other portals and agencies is not allowed.

Authors can write on various topics, including politics, current events, sports, culture, art, education, science, lifestyle, and more. Writing style and article type are not restricted—analytical, critical, scientific, and informative articles, as well as statistical analyses and commentary, are all welcome, provided they are fact-based and objectively presented.

Every author has an equal opportunity to gain recognition on the platform. Based on the number of views, likes, and comments, the best authors may receive financial rewards. However, in the first few months after the platform's launch, no profit distribution will take place.

Authors have complete freedom of expression and are not subject to additional checks before publication. Each author is responsible for the views and opinions expressed in their articles. Multiple authors can cover the same topic, fostering diverse perspectives and broader discussions. Plenum aims to be a platform for high-quality content that provides young writers and journalists with a space for expression.

If it is determined that an author is engaging in mass production of low-quality texts or creating plagiarized content—whether copied from other sources or generated using AI tools—they will be permanently banned from the platform. Such authors will not have the opportunity to publish again. Our portal is committed to originality and content quality and will take appropriate measures to maintain the integrity and credibility of the platform.

Our platform strictly prohibits the promotion of individuals, businesses, organizations, products, services, or any form of self-promotion through articles. Authors attempting to use Plenum for such purposes without approval risk losing their publishing rights and future collaboration opportunities. Our goal is to provide high-quality, impartial content that does not serve personal or commercial interests.

All published articles remain the property of Plenum. If you choose to delete your profile, your published articles and data will remain visible on the platform.

Profit Share

Plenum plans to distribute 50% of its total revenue among the top authors across all categories. The profit is allocated using a specialized algorithm that tracks engagement metrics, including views, popularity, likes, comments, reading time, and other factors.

Sharing news from Plenum to other websites is permitted only for authors who own personal blogs or pages where they exclusively publish their own content.

Author contracts

Plenum has signed agreements with all authors on the platform. If authors wish to receive payments for their earned revenue, they must sign a contract, which will be provided after successfully completing the collaboration process. This approach ensures that both parties' rights and obligations are clearly defined and protected, guaranteeing a transparent and secure payment process.

Freedom. Responsibility. Truth.
