How Hack(edu).tech Chronicle handles what it publishes: what it holds, who may reuse it and on what terms, and what happens to an article over time.
Content
Hack(edu).tech Chronicle publishes essays and working papers on education and technology, written by a single author. Articles are not peer reviewed; they are released as preprints.
Every published article is assigned a DOI through Zenodo and registered with DataCite, and is available in full as a web page and as a PDF.
Metadata reuse
Anyone may access the metadata of every article free of charge, and reuse it in any medium without prior permission. Metadata is released under CC0 1.0.
It is offered for machines through OAI-PMH (Dublin Core), Highwire Press meta tags and schema.org JSON-LD on each article page, an RSS feed, a sitemap and llms.txt.
Full-text reuse
Every article is free to read and download, with no paywall, account or embargo. Unless an article states a different licence, its text is published under CC BY 4.0: it may be copied, redistributed and adapted for any purpose, including commercially, provided the author is credited and the original is linked — citing its DOI does both. Code samples are under the MIT licence.
Full texts may be harvested by robots, including for indexing and text and data mining.
Submission
Hack(edu).tech Chronicle does not accept submissions. Every article is written and deposited by the site's author.
Preservation
Articles are kept indefinitely, and an article's address never changes once it is published. When a page does move, its old address redirects to the new one.
Independently of this site, each article's PDF and metadata are deposited in Zenodo, operated by CERN, which keeps the record for the lifetime of the repository. That deposit is the version of record as it stood when its DOI was registered; later corrections appear here.
Corrections and withdrawal
Errors are corrected in the article itself. An article whose DOI has been registered is not withdrawn: the identifier is permanent, and the record it points to stays available.
An article withdrawn before its DOI was registered is removed from the site, its PDF is deleted, and it remains listed as deleted in the OAI-PMH feed, so that any service which harvested it is told it has gone.
