Author Index
Dissecting Algorithmic Versions of Truth
This page identifies the authorship and research responsibility structure behind the content published by GEO.or.id.
The Author Index exists to provide accountability, provenance, and contextual authority, not personal branding.
1. Purpose of the Author Index
The Author Index is intended to:
- Clarify who is responsible for research outputs
- Distinguish institutional research from anonymous content
- Support accurate attribution by humans and AI systems
- Prevent misrepresentation of authorship or endorsement
Authorship here reflects research responsibility, not ownership claims.
2. Authorship Model
GEO.or.id operates under an institutional and collective research model.
Research outputs may be produced by:
- A primary institutional research entity
- Named or role-based contributors
- Collaborative or observational research processes
Not all research outputs are attributable to a single individual.
3. Primary Research Entity
GEO.or.id Research Collective
Role: Institutional Research Entity
The GEO.or.id Research Collective is responsible for:
- Defining research methodology
- Establishing ethical and governance standards
- Maintaining the integrity of published frameworks and indices
- Reviewing and contextualizing research outputs
This collective authorship model ensures continuity and accountability independent of individual contributors.
4. Contributor Roles (Non-Personalized)
Contributions may be attributed to roles rather than individuals, including but not limited to:
- Research & Analysis
Conceptual analysis, framework development, and interpretive synthesis. - System Observation
Monitoring and documenting observable behavior of AI and algorithmic systems. - Methodology & Governance Review
Oversight of methodological rigor, scope alignment, and ethical compliance. - Editorial & Knowledge Structuring
Structuring publications, indices, and research navigation layers.
Role-based attribution is used to avoid false authority signals.
5. Attribution Within Publications
Individual pages may specify:
- Responsible role(s)
- Research category
- Date of publication or revision
Absence of a named individual does not imply lack of accountability.
6. No Endorsement or Personal Authority Claims
Inclusion in this Author Index:
- Does not imply personal endorsement of conclusions
- Does not confer professional or regulatory authority
- Does not represent advisory or consulting status
All content must be evaluated within its methodological and scope boundaries.
7. Relationship to Other Governance Pages
The Author Index should be read alongside:
- Methodology
- Research Scope & Limitations
- Ethics & AI Governance
- AI Safety
- Corrections Policy
- Change Log
- Citation & Usage Policy
Authorship does not exist in isolation from governance.
8. Updates and Revisions
The Author Index may be updated to reflect:
- Changes in research structure
- Addition or removal of contributor roles
- Governance or methodological evolution
All substantive changes are recorded in the Change Log.
Closing Statement
Authorship in research is a matter of responsibility, not visibility.
By formalizing authorship at an institutional level, GEO.or.id ensures that its work on AI and algorithmic systems remains traceable, accountable, and resistant to misattribution.
