What is M&Info

M&Info is an independent, student-run publication built around a simple principle: students should have a meaningful voice in public discourse.

Students read closely, argue in good faith, and are not yet invested in defending a position. That's worth publishing, and it rarely is.

Who Can Contribute

Contributors need no institutional affiliation. An independent researcher working alone is as welcome as a doctoral candidate, provided the work meets the same standards of meaningful writing, intellectual honesty, and high-quality research.

M&Info is not built around a single ideology, political position, or school of thought.

We care about the quality of an argument, not whether we agree with its conclusion.

Editorial Standards and Independence

M&Info reserves the right to reject submissions that do not meet reasonable standards of research, relevance, coherence, or writing quality.

We will not, however, reject an article simply because its argument or conclusions are unpopular, controversial, or contrary to the views of M&Info's editors, contributors, donors, or readers. Nevertheless, M&Info reserves the right to refuse articles that contain defamatory content, plagiarism, fabricated data, or undisclosed conflicts of interest.

We do not attempt to prohibit the use of artificial intelligence as a writing, research, editing, or analytical tool. Such a restriction would be difficult to enforce and would ignore the legitimate ways these tools can support serious work.

AI may be a tool. It is not a substitute for having something worth saying.

Authors remain responsible for the accuracy, originality, sourcing, and arguments of everything published under their name, regardless of the tools used to produce it.

Editorial decisions will be made independently of our funding.

Funding and Access

M&Info is funded through voluntary donations.

Donors receive no editorial influence over what we publish, what our contributors write, or how M&Info is governed no matter how significant the donation.

M&Info reserves the right to refuse any donation for any reason.

Every article M&Info publishes is free to read on our website, permanently and without registration.

Ownership and Governance

M&Info is student-run and student-owned.

Its governance is intended to be based on democratic participation rather than ownership by an individual donor, corporation, university, or outside organisation. Read more in the M&Info Constitution

The publication exists for its contributors and readers, and its independence depends on keeping editorial, financial, and organisational power separate wherever possible.

Until M&Info is a fully formed institution, the founders reserve the right to make or veto any amendment unilaterally.

Contributing

You do not need previous publishing experience, formal qualifications, or a completed article before contacting us. Ideas, proposals, early drafts, and prospective collaborations are all welcome.

Contributors are free to say publicly that they write for M&Info and to link to their published work — on a personal site, a CV, LinkedIn, or anywhere else.

Contributors may reference their own projects, research, tools, or organisations within an article where relevant to the subject. Any commercial or financial interest must be disclosed to the reader, including when the work referenced is paid or paywalled.

Contributors keep copyright in their work. Publishing with M&Info grants us a permanent, non-exclusive right to publish and archive the piece. Everything else stays with the author, including the right to republish elsewhere. We ask only that republication credits M&Info as the original publisher.

M&Info reviews requests for corrections, retractions, and removal on a case-by-case basis. Material factual errors will be corrected where established. Retraction or removal is not guaranteed merely because an author, subject, or third party later objects to a published article.
