Open, citable, ORCID-synced.

What we publish

Empirical studies, replications, instrument work, protocol registrations, field reports from centers, pedagogical evaluations and state-of-the-field reviews — anything that moves the evidence for diving, attention and wellbeing forward. English or Spanish. Written by researchers, instructors and centers alike; a good field report is worth more than a weak trial.

Call for papers — eight domains

• · Physiological mechanisms
• · Psychological outcomes
• · Instructor training & wellbeing
• · Ecological impact & stewardship
• · Clinical applications
• · FP20 measurement & validation
• · Pedagogical innovation
• · Policy & global scaling

The process, in five steps

1. 1. Submit to research@mindfuldivinginstitute.com
   An abstract, or the full manuscript. English or Spanish, either is welcome.
2. 2. Editorial review — weeks, not months
   Read by the Research Council against the standard's evidence line. You get a decision and named reasons.
3. 3. Designed edition + Hub landing page
   Typeset in the Institute's editorial system, with a permanent page on the Research Hub.
4. 4. DOI — Zenodo MDI community, OpenAIRE, Crossref deposit
   Archived and indexed the day it publishes. The identifier never moves.
5. 5. ORCID auto-sync + Scholar tags + Journal announcement
   It lands on your ORCID record, is readable by Google Scholar, and is announced to the community.

The terms

• · Authors keep copyright. CC BY 4.0 by default; another open licence on request.
• · Free to publish and free to read, for the whole founding era. No article charges.
• · A permanent DOI and an ORCID link on every record — yours, and every co-author's.
• · Null results, replications and negative findings are welcome, and are published the same way.
• · The amber culture applies to science too: say the true thing early.
