Before you submit
Read two or three published articles in your chosen topic first. The house style is direct, technical and free of marketing language.
What we look for
- A working method. Formulas, tables, worked numbers and step-by-step procedures beat general advice.
- Honest limits. Say what assumptions the method depends on and when it fails.
- Original material. Do not submit content published elsewhere, and do not submit machine-generated text you have not verified.
- Sources. Link to the source for any statistic, standard, regulation or market figure you quote. Do not present an invented figure, quotation or case as real.
- Length. Most accepted articles run 900 to 2,000 words. Shorter is fine if it is complete.
Formatting
- Use H2 for main sections and H3 for sub-sections. The table of contents is built from these automatically.
- Tables are welcome for parameter comparisons and sampling plans.
- Code blocks are welcome for model formulations, SQL and calculation scripts.
- Add up to 8 tags, and pick them from the existing tags offered under the field wherever you can. A submission may introduce at most 3 new tags. Tags are how readers find neighbouring material, and a tag used once helps nobody.
- Only use images you created or have the right to publish.
Review outcomes
Every submission is read by the editor before it is published. It ends in one of three states: Approved and queued for publication, Changes requested with a specific editorial note, or Rejected with a reason. You can track all of it from your submission dashboard.
Guest posts
An article written by someone outside the site's own editorial team is a guest post. It is published under the author's name and profile and carries a Guest post label. The editor reviews it like any other submission and may edit it for clarity, length and house style.
Links in a guest post should help the reader: a source, a standard, a tool. A link placed mainly to promote a business may be removed, or marked so that search engines do not count it as our recommendation.
Before submitting, the author confirms that the work is their own and that they have the right to publish every image in it.
Topics outside apparel and textile
Most of the site is about apparel and textile operations. We also publish general-interest articles, such as lifestyle pieces, in topics of their own. The same standard applies there: first-hand, specific and original. We do not publish medical, legal or personal-finance advice in those topics.
Corrections
Readers can report an error through the contact page. When an error is confirmed, we correct the article and add a dated correction note at the foot of it.
Advertising and sponsored content
Advertising on the site is kept separate from the articles. Advertisers do not review or approve articles.
We accept sponsored articles: articles published in return for payment or another benefit. A sponsored article is arranged with the editor before it is submitted, is reviewed and edited like any other, and can be declined. To arrange one, email salauddinahamed53@gmail.com. When a sponsored article is published:
- it carries a Sponsored label wherever it is listed, and a notice at the top that names the sponsor
- links in it that lead to other sites are marked as sponsored for search engines
- it is not placed among the featured articles or in the breaking ticker
We do not publish a paid article without that label, and payment does not buy a favourable review or an unmarked link.
If an author has a commercial interest in a product, supplier or service they write about, they must say so when they submit. The statement is shown to readers under the article.
