Home / Board & Team
An independent Academic Advisory and Editorial Board advises on academic quality and publishing ethics across our conferences and journals, and a panel of subject specialists reviews the venues that apply to publish here. Everyone named on this page has accepted their appointment in writing. Appointments continue, and this page is updated as each one is confirmed — never before.
How it is organised
Senior academics from several countries and disciplines. They advise on academic quality and publishing ethics. The role is honorary and unpaid, and it is advisory: the board does not decide individual papers, and it does not run the company.
A senior scholar chairs the board. Our editorial office acts as secretary: it convenes meetings, keeps the minutes, and maintains the register of declared interests.
Members read our policies before they are issued, question them, and advise on ethics cases the editorial office refers to them — authorship disputes, suspected misconduct, corrections and retractions.
The board
Senior scholars who read our policies before they are issued and advise on the ethics cases our editorial office refers up. The board is advisory and independent: it does not manage the company, and it does not decide the fate of any individual paper. Service is honorary and unpaid.

The panel
Faculty and industry experts who review the applications of conferences and journals that want to publish on the platform — the scope, the editorial team, the review process proposed — and recommend approval, conditions, or refusal. Each reviews only in their own field. This is the gate that decides what appears on the platform at all.
