Contributor Editorial Standards & Policy

We welcome articles from industry experts, developers and tech enthusiasts who can offer a unique perspective or in-depth analysis. To keep quality high, every submission is judged against the standards below. Please read them before you write.

Ready? Submit an article. You can follow its status in your author dashboard.

1. What we publish

We look for articles that inform and help readers, in these areas:

  • Phones, hardware and gadgets: reviews, comparisons and buying advice
  • Software and apps: tools, productivity and how-to guides
  • AI and emerging technologies: practical use and analysis
  • Security and privacy: threats, protection and best practice
  • Gaming
  • Business technology: digital strategy, e-commerce and market trends

We prefer a unique angle, data-backed case studies or first-hand technical experience.

2. Quality requirements

Submissions are evaluated on experience, expertise, authoritativeness and trustworthiness (E-E-A-T).

  • Depth and length: articles should be comprehensive, typically more than 1,000 words. Depth of insight matters more than word count.
  • Originality: we publish only original content. Articles published elsewhere, spun content, and AI-generated text without significant human oversight and editing are declined.
  • Structure: clear headings (H2, H3), short paragraphs and lists where they help.
  • Images: include at least one high-resolution image (1200×630 px) that you have the rights to use, with attribution if required.

3. Sources and links

  • Credible sourcing: cite reputable sources for data, statistics and technical claims, such as academic journals, official documentation or major news outlets.
  • One free link: while an article is published for free, it may include one relevant external link in the body. We publish it as nofollow. Other external links must point to credible sources, not to your own or a client’s pages.
  • Paid link options: if you want a followed link, or additional links, this is available as a paid upgrade. Contact us before publication. Paid placements are disclosed as sponsored.
  • Author biography: you may also link to your portfolio, LinkedIn profile or website in your author biography.
  • No promotion: apart from the links above, promotional language and commercial references are not permitted. The article must stay educational and objective.

4. What we do not accept

  • Discriminatory, offensive or hateful content
  • Factually incorrect information or pseudoscience
  • Plagiarised material or unedited AI-generated text
  • Commercial content disguised as editorial analysis

5. Disclosure

Articles from external contributors are clearly labelled as contributor content, so readers can tell them apart from our own reporting. Contributors are not paid.

6. Review process

  • Editing: the editor may edit content for clarity, grammar, tone and formatting to match our house style.
  • Approval: a submission does not guarantee publication. We decide on relevance, quality and originality.
  • Compliance: failing to follow these standards can lead to rejection or removal of contributor access.
