DIW values original work.
Articles should be written exclusively for Digital Information World (DIW), should not have been published elsewhere, and should provide a fresh angle, original analysis, unique insights, or relevant expert quotes rather than rehashing material already widely covered.
Write in a neutral, non-promotional third-person style where appropriate. Promotional material, sales language, or unnecessary self-reference should be avoided.
Aim for a Grade 9 reading level, preferably checked with Hemingway Editor.
Content must not contain undisclosed AI-generated or AI-assisted material. If AI tools were used at any stage of research, drafting, editing, or preparation, this must be disclosed.
Every submission must be reviewed by a human fact-checker before publication. The submission should identify the name and role of the person who fact-checked it, along with their publicly verifiable professional profile, if available.
All factual claims should be supported by reliable sources. Use inline hyperlinks rather than academic-style footnotes or endnotes. Claims that cannot be reasonably verified should not be considered for publication.
Where relevant, include original charts, graphics, unique data visualizations, expert quotes, or other material that adds value to the study being covered.
Include a concise author bio identifying the contributor's relevant professional background.
Submit the article through a publicly accessible Google Docs document with viewing access enabled for anyone with the link. The original document should retain its edit history so the writing and review process can be verified. PDF, Word, or other file formats are not accepted.
Meeting these requirements does not guarantee publication. DIW may decline content that is substantially AI-generated, unreviewed, undisclosed as AI-assisted, insufficiently original, outdated, poorly sourced, promotional, or otherwise unsuitable for its editorial standards.
