Contributor Guidelines
AI Training Scotland accepts contributions from practitioners, researchers, learning and development professionals, and business owners with genuine expertise in AI adoption, workforce training, or related fields. This page explains what we are looking for and how to submit.
What We Accept
We consider how-to guides based on practical experience, news analysis with named sources and clear reasoning, opinion pieces with a clear argument supported by evidence, and sector-specific analysis from practitioners with direct industry knowledge.
We do not accept content produced for the purpose of promoting a technology vendor or platform, guest posts submitted on behalf of commercial clients, or articles that lack genuine expertise in the subject matter.
Standards
All submitted content must be original and not published elsewhere. Claims that are not common knowledge must be supported by named, verifiable sources. No fabricated data or invented case studies. UK English throughout. No promotional language. No em dashes.
Word counts: 800 to 1,500 words for analysis and features. 1,200 to 2,000 words for practical guides. 400 to 800 words for news analysis.
The Submission Process
Send a brief pitch via the contact form before writing a full article. Your pitch should cover the proposed topic in two or three sentences, the main argument or practical takeaway, your relevant background or credentials, and any sources you intend to cite.
We respond to pitches within five working days. Accepted articles are edited for style, clarity, and editorial standards. Contributors are notified of any significant changes before publication.
Author Bios
Every article requires a contributor bio of 30 to 60 words covering your name, role or professional background, and one sentence of relevant context. Bios may include a link to a personal website or LinkedIn profile.
Rights
By submitting an article, you confirm that the content is your original work, that you hold the rights to it, and that publication on this Site does not infringe any third-party rights. AI Training Scotland retains the right to publish and archive accepted articles indefinitely.
Corrections Policy
AI Training Scotland is committed to accuracy. Where published content contains a factual error, we will correct it promptly and note the correction at the foot of the relevant article.
How to Request a Correction
Use the contact form to submit a correction request. Include the URL of the article you believe contains an error, the specific claim you consider inaccurate, and any source or evidence that supports a correction.
We review all correction requests within five working days. Where a correction is warranted, it is made to the article and a correction note is added in the following format: Correction: [date]. [Description of what was corrected and what the correct information is.]
What We Do Not Correct
We do not alter editorial judgements, change opinions expressed by named contributors, or remove articles on the basis that their subject matter is uncomfortable or commercially inconvenient. Correction requests must relate to factual inaccuracies.
Disputed Corrections
If you believe a correction request has been wrongly declined, you may resubmit with additional evidence. We will review the supplementary information and respond within five working days.
