How to Submit a Blog Post
Overview
The Genomics × AI blog uses a Git-native, PR-based submission workflow. All submissions go through peer review before the post goes live.
Submission Process
Write Your Post
- Use the blog post template (copy the frontmatter and adapt)
- Conduct internal lab review first
- Ensure all required frontmatter fields are complete
Create a Pull Request
- Fork the repository
- Add your post to
content/blogs/YYYY-NNN/index.md - Create a PR with the submission template filled out
Editor Review
- Editors will review your submission
- They may request changes via PR comments
- Address feedback and update your PR
Going live
- Once approved, editors will merge your PR
- The post will be automatically deployed via GitHub Actions
- Your post will appear on the blog
Updates
- Once merged, you can continue to submit updates to your post which will alter the updated date.
Getting notified of comments and likes
Comments and likes on the blog use GitHub Discussions. To get notified when someone comments or reacts to your post:
Watch the repository
On the repo page, click Watch → Custom → enable Discussions. You’ll get GitHub notifications (and email if your GitHub settings allow it) for new discussions and comments.Subscribe to your post’s discussion
Once your post has at least one comment or reaction, a discussion is created under Post Discussions. Open your post’s discussion and click Subscribe (top right) to get notified only for that thread.
Editors and maintainers can use the same options to follow all post activity.
Writing Notes
- There are no strict stylistic requirements, but posts should be clear, accessible, and engaging for a broad scientific audience.
- Use headings, figures, and examples where helpful to improve readability.
- Cite relevant prior work using hyperlinks or a formal inline citation style, and the inclusion of a references section at the end of the post is encouraged.
- Ensure that claims are supported by appropriate sources.
