Transparency - Hedegreen Research

Transparency

Public declarations of support, personal honoraria relevant to the work, contracts, hardware, collaborations, and accepted external editorial work.

Principle

Support can buy time. It cannot buy the conclusion.

Hedegreen Research accepts the possibility of paid time, hardware support, collaboration, and external publication without giving those relationships editorial control over the public result.

Money can support investigation, building, maintenance, access, or response capacity. It does not buy softer findings, private truth, or silence.

If a relationship creates a real support surface, influence surface, or declared conflict surface, it belongs here plainly.
