The International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design (ISCID) accepts into its archive articles on all aspects of complex systems. Both members and nonmembers may submit articles. Articles must be fully referenced, carefully edited, and well formatted. The society prefers articles submitted in pdf format but also accepts Word documents. So that articles are generally accessible, articles must be in English or include English translation. The archive is moderated to assure that articles meet minimum scholarly standards and are relevant to the study of complex systems. In submitting articles to the ISCID archive and journal, authors retain full copyright of their material. Articles submitted to the archive can be removed at any time at the author's request. Authors grant to the society the right to display PCID articles on its site in perpetuity.
