F.A.Q.

What’s the difference between AI-written content and published works?

AI-generated articles are those explicitly created by the author using AI and automatically generated without any modifications, designed for ease of reading and efficient publication. Publications are formal research outputs (journal articles, reports, and working papers) that include citation details and official links.

Can I reuse your datasets, protocols, or templates?

Often, yes. Each resource lists its license and any access conditions. If a dataset is restricted (e.g., sensitive locations or participant privacy), we’ll note how to request access.

How should I cite something from this site?

Use the citation information on the relevant page when available (publication citation, dataset version, or post date).

When in doubt, cite the page title, MaltiAI®, the year, and the URL.

How do I collaborate or request access to restricted materials?

Email admin@maltiai.com with a short description of your project and what you need (e.g., dataset version, intended use, timeline). We typically respond within 3–5 working days.
