# Publish research the world can re-verify, not just cite.

If your university, lab, or institute holds genuine domain authority, co-publish governed research with [KYE Protocol™](https://kyeprotocol.com/) — where every claim is pinned to a cited source, every edition is evidence-sealed, and a regulator or journalist can re-prove it from public keys alone. This is your call to partner: co-publish, run an authority pilot with your lab, and teach the layer most AI-governance courses omit — turning peer trust from a months-long reputation game into a one-check proof.

Co-publish governed research

## Your authority, provable from public keys.

Most research asks the reader to trust the author. Through the KYE™ Publishing Authority Track™ — the invite-only research track of the [KYE™ Sector Pack Foundry™](https://kyeprotocol.com/sector-pack-foundry/) — you co-publish the way KYE™ governs everything else: no claim without a cited, pinned source, every edition sealed as an [Evidence Pack™](https://kyeprotocol.com/evidence-pack/) and signed with a `JWS`, replay-verifiable offline against published JWKS. You, a regulator, or a peer reviewer can check it without trusting us. 3 tiers scale with how much authority and audience you bring, across 6 co-author types — university, research institute, lab, think-tank, standards body and academic press.

### Cited or it doesn’t ship

Every claim in a co-published edition binds to a pinned source. The no-hallucination gate refuses a synthesis with an uncited assertion — the same discipline KYE™ applies to a governed agent’s action.

### Evidence-sealed editions

Each edition is sealed and signed, then verifiable offline against KYE™’s published keys. Your institution’s authorship and the evidence travel together — a Replay-Proof™, not a reputation claim.

### Named, attributed authority

Universities, research institutes, labs, think-tanks, standards bodies and academic presses co-author under the track — your domain authority is the point, credited and machine-checkable on every edition.

Run an authority pilot

## Bring KYE™ into your lab’s workflow.

Your researchers are already deploying AI agents against real institutional decisions. Run a governed-authority pilot with KYE™ to prove, on your own data, that an agent only acts where it is genuinely empowered — and that every refusal and approval is signed and replayable. It is a concrete, publishable result for your lab: an authority chain a review board can inspect, not a black box.

Teach the authority layer

## The lesson most courses leave out.

Responsible-AI and compliance curricula stop at the EU AI Act™ risk tiers, the NIST AI RMF and accountability roles. They rarely reach the layer that decides whether an AI agent may actually cause a consequential action: institutional authority, runtime admissibility, and evidence at execution. Teach it with KYE™ — identity, permission, approval and authority are not the same thing, and your students should be able to tell them apart. Bring the module into a governance course, or build it into a program with your faculty.
