Terms of the Society

I. Introduction

By registering for Society Credentials with Historiqa, you agree to abide by these Terms of the Society. Historiqa is a dedicated archival space designed for the rigorous, respectful exploration of all human history. Membership is a privilege, not a right, and is contingent upon adherence to our scholarly standards.

II. The Code of Scholarly Conduct

Historiqa thrives on rigorous debate, differing historical interpretations, and peer review. However, all discourse must remain fundamentally respectful.

• Critique the Argument, Not the Scholar: Disagreements are expected and welcomed when discussing historical events. However, your critiques must focus entirely on the facts, sources, and logic of the argument. Ad hominem attacks (attacking the person rather than their position) are strictly prohibited.
• Zero Tolerance for Abuse: Bullying, harassment, and intentional rudeness have no place in this society.
• No Discrimination: Discrimination, hate speech, or derogatory remarks regarding race, religion, nationality, gender, or orientation will result in the immediate and permanent revocation of your Society ID.

III. Archival Contributions & Accuracy

When drafting articles or reviews for the Historiqa archives—whether discussing the architecture of Ancient Egypt or the geopolitical shifts of the Modern Era—members are expected to strive for historical accuracy. Plagiarism, the deliberate fabrication of historical sources, or presenting historical fiction as academic fact is prohibited. Always endeavor to provide references for your claims.

IV. Account Management & Termination

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your Society Credentials. The Editorial Board reserves the right to moderate comments, reject article submissions, or terminate the accounts of any member found to be violating this Code of Conduct, in order to preserve the integrity of the archives.
