Publications & Open Science
Everything we publish is archived for traceability. This docket lists public administrative records, case studies, datasets, and publication pipelines. Where applicable, each item carries a DOI and is preserved in Zenodo for citation permanence. Our objective is continuity, citation stability, and governance transparency rather than promotional publishing.

Age-Differentiated Responses to Geopolitical Violence: Iran Crisis 2026
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.18996507
This record archives a qualitative case study documenting how children aged 6–16 at an AMI-guided Montessori school in Hyderabad, India, responded emotionally, cognitively, and morally to the Iran crisis following the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on 28 February 2026. The study was conducted by the Blue Blocks Micro Research Institute between 5 and 10 March 2026 — within days of the conflict's escalation — making it a real-time documentation of children's responses to a live geopolitical event.

Adolescents Interview a Neurodivergent-Run Kitchen — And Redesign Their Own Questions
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19219065
Erdkinder adolescents designed a 25-question instrument, visited a cloud kitchen run by neurodivergent adults, and rewrote their approach mid-interview. What they chose to report reveals more about children's research instincts than what they were told.

Adolescents Who Switched Sides Mid-Debate and Argued Better for It
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19480752
Twelve Erdkinder adolescents were assigned positions in a live civic debate on voting age — then told, without warning, to switch sides at the halfway mark. Neither team collapsed. Several students turned their own Phase 1 arguments against themselves in Phase 2, producing richer reasoning than before the switch. The finding is not that debate builds civic thinking. The finding is that enforced perspective change might.

When Children Encounter Designed Adversity
DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.19344032
Twelve adolescents who lived through a real satellite failure face a new engineering challenge designed to break within thirty minutes. All four teams treated failure as a puzzle. The gap between what they wrote privately about their satellite and what they did publicly in the challenge is the finding that matters most.

FAQs
Are your publications peer-reviewed?
All manuscripts get internal review by our research council (3-5 reviewers). Methodological papers also get external pre-publication review by independent PhD-level researchers before we register DOIs and upload to Zenodo.
Can I access your data?
Yes, three ways. (1) Open access: Published papers and aggregate data are freely available on Zenodo—download anytime, no permission needed. (2) Researcher access: De-identified individual-level datasets require IRB approval from your institution and signed Data Use Agreement—apply through our Collaborate page, 2-4 week review. (3) Visiting fellowship: Come work in our archive with full dataset access (2-8 weeks).
Where do you publish?
All publications are archived on Zenodo with DOI registration, ensuring they are citable and permanent.
