ONR Badge & Certificate System

An explanation of the 'ONM Community Approved' badge, what it signifies, and how approved projects are showcased on a dedicated certificate page.

The “ONM Community Approved” Badge

The “ONM Community Approved” badge is a mark of quality and trust within the neuromorphic ecosystem. It signifies that a project, paper, or resource has successfully passed the Open Neuromorphic Research (ONR) community peer-review process.

Earning the badge means your project will be featured in our Approved Research Registry, with a dedicated page that serves as a permanent certificate of its approval.

What the Badge Represents

When you see this badge, it means the work has been evaluated against our official review criteria and has been recognized for its:

  • Clarity: The work is well-documented and easy to understand.
  • Reproducibility: The results can be independently verified by the community.
  • Impact: The contribution is valuable and relevant to the neuromorphic field.
  • Openness: The work adheres to open-source principles with permissive licensing.

The Certificate Page

Each project that successfully passes the ONR review is granted a permanent “certificate” page within our Approved Research Registry. This page serves as the official record of the community’s endorsement and typically includes:

  • An overview of the project and its contributions.
  • Direct links to the resource (e.g., GitHub repository, paper).
  • A link to the public peer-review discussion on OpenReview.
  • The date of community approval.

The badge that you display on your project will link directly to this certificate page.
