-## Submitting a new research experiment
-
-You can submit an experiment if it satisfies the following requirements:
-
-- It is programmed using Qiskit.
-- It is executed on quantum hardware.
-- There is an associated publication or publicly available preprint describing the results from running the experiment.
-
-To submit a new research experiment:
-
-1. Create a new module for your experiment under the [`qiskit_research`](qiskit_research/) base module.
-2. Create a new directory under [docs/](docs/) and add Jupyter notebooks to document your experiment.
-
 ## Running tests locally
 
 The tests can be run locally using [tox](https://tox.wiki/en/latest/).
