Reuse and Ongoing Updates
Authors—especially those of peer-reviewed articles—are encouraged to revise and improve their work over time, including in response to member comments and new developments in the field.
When a member’s comment leads to a significant change in a document, authors are encouraged (but not required) to acknowledge that contribution by mentioning the commenter using the @username functionality on the site. This creates a visible attribution link to the commenter’s profile while preserving clear authorship of the original work.
