Not in the traditional pre-publication sense: there is no gatekeeper who approves a nanopublication before it becomes visible. Anyone with an identity and key pair can publish. Instead of anonymous pre-publication review, the system relies on cryptographic attribution — every nanopublication is signed, so it is always clear who stands behind a claim, and that reputation travels with it.

Review and quality assessment happen after publication, and can themselves take the form of nanopublications: an assessment, endorsement, or dispute is published as a signed nanopublication referring to the one under review. This makes reviews transparent, attributable, and citable first-class citizens of the same ecosystem, rather than hidden reports. Communities can organize whatever review workflow they like on top of this — the nanopublication infrastructure supports such processes but does not prescribe one.

Consumers, in turn, never have to take the network as an undifferentiated whole: queries can filter by author, by community, or by trust relations, so each application can apply exactly the level of scrutiny its use case requires.
