Submit a new method

Use this when you have a visual method that is not already in the archive, ideally one grounded in published research. We review the submission, and once it is accepted, the method is written up as its own entry. You are credited as a contributor on the About page, and your name is added to the editor list on the method's own page.

How it works: you start by filling out a short questionnaire with the basic information about the method. If we agree it is genuinely new to the archive, we send you a text editor where you can describe the steps in detail and embed any images that work as case examples or step illustrations.

• The method: a working name and a short description of what it does and the steps involved.
• The source: the published paper / tech report / poster or study the method comes from, if there is one.
• Visual material: any figures, photographs, or diagrams you can share, with their attribution.
• You: your name and affiliation, as you would like them credited.

Submit a variation

Use this when a method similar to yours is already cataloged, but you have used it in a different way: a new setting, a new material, a new adaptation. We add your variation to the existing method's page so readers can see how it has been reused. Your name is added to that method's editor list.

How it works: you start by filling out a short questionnaire with the basic information about the variation. If we agree it is genuinely a new variation, we send you a text editor where you can describe the steps in detail and embed any images that work as case examples or step illustrations.

• The method: which cataloged method your variation builds on.
• What changes: how your version differs, and what prompted the adaptation.
• Context: where and how you used it, and a paper or write-up if one exists.
• You: your name and affiliation, as you would like them credited.

Submit a reference

Use this when a peer-reviewed paper has used one of the methods in the archive. Send us the reference and we add it to that method's page, so each method gathers a living list of the published work that has put it into practice.

• The method: which cataloged method the paper used.
• The citation: authors, title, venue, and year of the published, peer-reviewed paper.
• A link: a DOI or stable URL to the paper.
