Civic Transparency Publications

This repository hosts figures, notebooks, reproducibility scripts, and camera-ready PDFs for conference and journal submissions related to the Civic Transparency project.

The first artifact is the P3Tags specification paper in:

• 2025_11_spec_paper/ - LaTeX source, figures, and build scripts for
  "P3Tags: A Privacy-Preserving Metadata Specification for Behavioral Transparency in Online Discourse".

Building the P3Tags Specification Paper

You can compile the paper locally using a standard LaTeX toolchain.

1. Install a LaTeX distribution

On Windows (MiKTeX):

• Download from https://miktex.org/download.
• Suggested options during installation:
  • Install for current user only
  • Leave paper size at A4 (default is fine)
  • Install missing packages on the fly = Yes
  • Add MiKTeX to PATH = Yes

On macOS / Linux:

• Install TeX Live (or MacTeX on macOS) from your package manager or the TeX Users Group site.

Ensure latexmk is available (MiKTeX and TeX Live usually include it).

2. Build the PDF

From the repository root:

cd 2025_11_spec_paper
latexmk -C
latexmk -pdf -bibtex -interaction=nonstopmode 00_main.tex

This will:

• Clean auxiliary files
• Run pdflatex and bibtex as needed,
• Produce build/00_main.pdf (the compiled paper),
• Re-run LaTeX enough times to resolve cross-references and citations.

Repository Status

This repository is under active development. The November 2025 P3Tags specification paper is the first public artifact; related papers, figures, and reproducibility assets will be added over time.
