Content Guidelines

Hyperight reserves the right, at its absolute discretion, to edit articles for reasons including, but not limited to, style, accuracy, length and legal compliance, or reject articles that we consider to not comply with our guidelines. These are some guidelines that you should respect in order to have your piece published:

• Be unique – Plagiarized articles are strictly forbidden. We use plagiarism tools to detect plagiarized content. If plagiarized content is discovered, the respective Contributors will be banned.
• Stick to the original – We accept articles previously posted on your personal or company blog, but original articles will be given priority in publishing and promotion.
• Aim for long-form content – Articles should be between the 1000 – 1500 word limit.
• Include properly credited images in your article – Images provide eye-catching visuals that increase reader engagement. However, use only copyright-free images from websites like Unsplash, Pexels, Pixabay, and StockSnap among others, or any AI tool. Also, please provide a link to the source of the images you’ve used in your article.
• Provide relevant links only – If necessary, link to other websites. Links to Hyperight are also encouraged. However, affiliate links and SEO link buildings are forbidden.
• Be relevant – Articles should be educational, informative and in line with topics we cover at Hyperight: Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Machine Learning, Data Science, IoT, Data Management, Advanced Analytics, NLP, Predictive Maintenance, Deep Learning, People Analytics, BI. Please stick to these topics and do not submit other content, as it will not be published. We won’t accept content that is not related to the topics mentioned above.
• No promotional articles – We don’t allow promotion of any product or service via an article. You can link to a certain company website to explain a point or as a reference for a piece of content, but active promotion is not allowed, and such articles will be removed. We reserve the right to remove text or links which do not comply with these guidelines. Of course, we do allow sponsored content on the platform. If interested, please reach out to us via email: [email protected].
• Be clear and knowledgeable – Hyperight aims to deliver only clear, well-written, well-structured high-quality content. Articles that are difficult to read, poorly written, or features a high amount of grammatical or stylistic errors will be rejected.
• Reposting articles on other websites and blogs – You are allowed to repost your articles that were originally published on Hyperight.com, but you have to include a statement and link at the beginning linking to the original article in the following fashion: “This article was originally published on Hyperight.com.”
• Correct your errors – If your post contains a factual error, you must correct or retract it within 24 hours after notice. If you make substantive changes (including error corrections) after your post has been published, you must note this at the bottom of your post. This includes matters of fact, but not changes to spelling, grammar or style or minor editorial corrections. However, in the interest of transparency, you must note to readers that an earlier version of the post had an error that was since corrected. Note: if a correction/retraction is due to a legal complaint of defamation, then the correction/retraction must be posted in as prominent a location as the defamatory content.
