# Research Development This is the active repository for recently accepted [Publication Requests](/researchers/publication-pipeline/publication-requests.md). Research Development is the active playground of the Authorship Team where you are encouraged to watch and engage with the authors about their research. What you'll find here are the early ideas, sketches, notes, and slow formation of ideas articulating into formal research. The next stop after this phase is conversion to a final technical white paper format. All Research Development projects are subject to Build3 Membership voting approval. Members are encouraged to comment and offer feedback as these projects develop. If you are not a formal author, you are still a member, and your contribution matters. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://www.build3.network/researchers/publication-pipeline/research-development.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
