OpenScholar Support runs on one rule: label what you post honestly. Pick the tag that actually fits before you write anything else.

  • Fact — measured, tested, peer-reviewed, confirmed. A citation is always given.
  • Open Question — a real, unresolved question. Honest uncertainty, not a gap in your own understanding.
  • Dream — a speculative extension or analogy. Not a tested claim, and labeled as such.
  • Research Skill — a practical habit of doing research: finding, reading, or judging a source.
Doesn't need to be finished or polished — a clearly labeled question counts.
