Journal of Olive Turn Press

Issue 2, Volume 1: The Olive Branch and the Honest Answer

Publication date: August 8, 2026

Editorial note

Issue 2 follows a publisher-owned collection into AI-assisted discovery without allowing rights, sources, accessibility, or version history to disappear into a confident paragraph. The articles are fictional demonstrations with a practical point: retrieval permission and model-training permission are separate decisions.

Each article includes structured JATS, contributors and affiliations, ORCID, figures with alternatives, tables, formulas, source-linked references, accessible PDF and EPUB companions, and supplementary PDF and EPUB worksheets for the integrated viewer.
