One-Author-Only Policy

CEO Policy Institute – One-Author-Only Policy
Where Business Leadership Meets Public Policy

At CEOPolicy.com (CEO Policy Institute), we are committed to transparency, professionalism, and editorial excellence. To uphold these values, we maintain a strict One-Author-Only Policy:

1. Single Author Attribution

All policy briefs, op-eds, and research-based articles must carry a single, named author. Multiple bylines are not permitted.

2. Authorship Definition

The named author must be the originator of the work, ensuring accuracy, originality, and readiness to engage with editors on revisions and clarifications.

3. Ghostwriting & Third-Party Support

Ghostwritten or externally assisted content must still be submitted under one author’s name, with that author bearing full accountability.

4. Editorial Exceptions

Special policy roundtables or panel discussions may be edited and published under a designated editor’s byline.

5. Enforcement

Submissions not meeting this requirement will be returned without review. Repeated non-compliance may result in suspension from submitting.
