Author Responsibility
The views, findings, arguments, and conclusions expressed in each article published by Undeterred Press belong to that article's author. They do not necessarily represent the views of Undeterred Press, its editors, or its reviewers. Editorial review evaluates the rigor of an article's argument and evidence; it does not make Undeterred Press a co-author or guarantor of the author's claims.
At submission, every author confirms that the work is their own original contribution (or properly cited where it draws on others'), that they hold the rights necessary to submit it, and that they are solely responsible for the accuracy of its claims and any consequence of their use. Publication and editorial review by Undeterred Press do not transfer that responsibility to the journal.
Not Professional Advice
Nothing published on this site constitutes legal, financial, investment, medical, engineering, or other professional or safety advice, regardless of the author's credentials. Articles are published for analytical, scholarly, and informational purposes. A reader relying on any article to make a legal, financial, medical, safety, or operational decision should consult a qualified professional in that field first. This applies with particular weight to any decision involving physical safety or critical infrastructure — see our Scope Limitation for the categories of content we decline to publish for this reason.
No Warranty
Articles are published as-is. Undeterred Press makes no warranty, express or implied, as to the completeness, accuracy, timeliness, or fitness of any article for a particular purpose. Editorial review, described in full in our Transparency section, is a rigorous human evaluation of an article's thinking — it is not a certification against error, and it should not be treated as one.
Citation and Reliance
Readers, journalists, policymakers, and other third parties are welcome to cite and build on work published here, consistent with how any independent publication is used. Undeterred Press is not responsible for how a third party interprets, applies, or relies on a published article, particularly where that reliance extends beyond the article's stated scope and findings, or where operational or safety-critical decisions are made on the basis of content this journal does not certify for that use.
AI Disclosure
Every article states its AI-involvement tier plainly (see our AI Disclosure framework on the Call for Papers page). This disclosure is provided so readers can factor production method into their own evaluation of a piece — it does not change the standard applied to acceptance, nor does it substitute for a reader's own judgment about a claim's reliability.
Copyright and Licensing
Articles published by Undeterred Press are licensed under CC BY 4.0. Authors retain copyright of their own work; publication here does not transfer ownership. Full detail: Copyright, Licensing & Preservation.
