GateBreakOpen does not use publication, editorial handling, reference checks, formatting, or visibility as tools to manipulate manuscripts, citations, authors, readers, or third parties.
GateBreakOpen exists to provide an independent online publishing space, not to create artificial bibliographic influence, citation pressure, editorial pressure, or hidden promotional mechanisms.
No Manipulation means that GateBreakOpen will not alter the author's argument, interpretation, conclusions, references, or intellectual position in order to create artificial advantage, visibility, promotion, or influence for anyone.
GateBreakOpen will never require authors to insert articles by other authors into the references as a condition for submission, acceptance, publication, visibility, or editorial support.
References must be chosen by the author according to relevance, accuracy, truthfulness, and scholarly usefulness. GateBreakOpen may request formal correction of incomplete, inconsistent, missing, unverifiable, or incorrectly formatted references, but it will not impose references for citation advantage.
GateBreakOpen does not create citation networks, inflate bibliographic visibility, promote preferred authors through reference pressure, or use publication to manipulate the visibility of specific authors, groups, organizations, institutions, or external interests.
GateBreakOpen rejects manipulation because the author's intellectual responsibility and independence must remain intact. Editorial handling is limited to technical, formal, bibliographic, legal, ethical, and compliance-related support.
