VOLT acceptance criteria

To ensure the quality and didactic utility of resources hosted in the VOLT community, all contributions must adhere to the following principles:

1. Scope: We accept materials related to Electronic Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, and Engineering Mathematics. Priority will be given to resources offering visual interactivity or simulation.

2. "White-box" approach: While the tool must offer a clean user interface for the student (App-like experience), depositing the source code (JSON files, Python scripts, .ggb files, etc.) is mandatory to enable peer review, academic auditing, and long-term digital preservation.

3. Documentation & bilingualism: Given the international nature of the project, each resource must be accompanied by technical/pedagogical documentation (user manual, theoretical foundations).

• We strongly recommend a single PDF document containing versions in both english and spanish.

• At a minimum, the abstract and metadata must be available in English.

4. File formats

• Simulations: Must be uploaded in open or standard formats. If the tool is hosted on an external website (e.g., Desmos), the permanent link must be included in the metadata, but the source code (JSON) must be archived here.

• Documentation: PDF format (PDF/A preferred for archiving).

5. Licensing: We encourage the use of open licenses to maximize educational reuse.

• Recommended: Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0).

Review Process The VOLT curation team will review each submission to ensure it functions correctly, the documentation is legible, and the presented mathematics are rigorous. We reserve the right to reject submissions that do not meet these quality standards or lack clear pedagogical value.
