X-Axis Unique Content

X-Axis Unique Content

(from Fully Duplicated to Fully Distinct)

  • -4: Fully Duplicated
    The main site republishes journal content directly, with minimal or no modification. Articles appear verbatim or are routinely mirrored.
  • -3: Derivative Duplication
    The main site frequently features adapted or summarized versions of journal articles. There’s heavy content recycling in different formats (e.g., blog posts, highlights, infographics).
  • -2: Featured Cross-Publication
    Journal content is regularly spotlighted on the main site through excerpts, featured articles, or summaries. There’s a clear editorial flow from journal to main.
  • -1: Light Journal Echoing
    Occasional journal content appears on the main site—select articles or issues are highlighted in news sections or as updates.
  • 0: Reference Integration
    The main site discusses the journal broadly, possibly with multiple references or deep links, but does not reuse actual content.
  • +1: Deep Link Framing
    The main site promotes its journal through deep links to individual issues or articles, but without embedding or echoing the content itself.
  • +2: Journal Link Presence
    The main site acknowledges the journal’s existence and links to it (usually at a high level like “Our Journal”), but without further editorial emphasis or content reuse.
  • +3: Minimal Journal Exposure
    Journal presence is limited to a basic link or navigation tab. The main site content remains separate and self-contained.
  • +4: Fully Distinct
    There is no shared content between the main site and journal. The journal is neither referenced nor discoverable through content pathways. Each site has its own editorial ecosystem.
