Prioritize public sources, clear links, and reusable citation formats.
Project Manifesto
Return classic texts to the public world
IMRA is not a closed warehouse. It is a public, accessible, reviewable, multilingual entry into textual study.
Knowledge should not become a gate kept by a few; classics should not be flattened into slogans. We return texts, sources, guides, citations, and review workflow to public study.
Six principles
The boundaries we maintain together
Reviewable
Separate originals, translations, guides, metadata, and rights status; accessibility is not authorization.
Multilingual
Help Chinese and English readers find entry points, and prepare for more language paths.
Against sloganization
Return each text to its problem, context, argument, and source, instead of extracting conclusions only.
Public education
Turn reading groups, documentation, citation rules, and corrections into sustainable tools.
Lawful transparency
All collaboration proceeds in public, lawful, non-violent, and reviewable ways.
