International Interdisciplinary Scientific Journal "Expert"

Invitation to Cooperation

Academic Participation and Scholarly Cooperation with the Journal

The International Interdisciplinary Scientific Journal “Expert” supports academic cooperation through several distinct forms of participation.

Scholars and researchers may be considered for participation in the Editorial Board, may apply for inclusion in the Journal’s reviewer pool, or may contribute original scholarly work as authors.

Each form of participation is governed by its own requirements and procedures in order to preserve transparency, editorial independence, scholarly quality, and appropriate role separation.

Editorial Board participation, reviewer participation, and manuscript submission are distinct forms of academic cooperation and are governed by separate eligibility, assessment, and decision-making procedures. Participation in one role does not automatically confer eligibility or status in another.

Academic Cooperation Opportunities

Select the pathway corresponding to the form of academic participation for which you wish to be considered.

Pathway 01

Editorial Board Participation

Contribute to Editorial Governance and Academic Development

Scholars with relevant academic expertise, professional standing, and experience corresponding to the Journal’s disciplinary and interdisciplinary profile may be considered for participation in the Editorial Board.

Editorial Board participation constitutes a scholarly and editorial governance role. Editorial Board members may contribute, within their respective areas of expertise and subject to applicable conflict-of-interest requirements, to the development of the Journal’s scholarly standards, academic profile, editorial governance, and international academic visibility.

Applications or expressions of interest are considered individually in accordance with the Journal’s current academic needs, subject-area representation, eligibility requirements, and applicable assessment procedures.

Submission of an application does not itself constitute appointment to the Editorial Board.

Pathway 02

Reviewer Participation

Contribute Independent Scholarly Assessment

Qualified scholars and researchers may apply for consideration for inclusion in the Journal’s internal reviewer pool.

Reviewer participation is based on relevant scholarly and/or methodological expertise, independence, absence of material conflicts of interest, ability to provide an objective and reasoned scholarly assessment, confidentiality, and compliance with the Journal’s reviewer requirements.

Reviewer applications are assessed individually.

Inclusion in the reviewer pool and appointment to review a specific manuscript are separate stages. Inclusion in the reviewer pool does not guarantee a future review assignment.

For each manuscript, potential reviewers are selected or approved separately in accordance with the Journal’s Editorial Policies and Peer Review Process, taking into account relevant subject expertise, methodological suitability, independence, conflicts of interest, and availability.

A reviewer becomes involved in the assessment of a particular manuscript only after receiving and accepting a manuscript-specific invitation.

Pathway 03

Scholarly Contribution as an Author

Submit Original Scholarly Research

Authors may submit original scholarly manuscripts that fall within the Journal’s academic scope and comply with the applicable Publication Conditions, authorship requirements, publication ethics standards, Article Declarations, and manuscript preparation requirements.

Submission of a manuscript does not guarantee external peer review or publication.

Initial editorial assessment precedes external peer review. Scholarly manuscripts that successfully complete initial editorial assessment and remain under consideration for publication undergo external double-blind peer review by two independent reviewers.

Following peer review and any required revision or reassessment, the Journal reaches a final editorial decision in accordance with its Editorial Policies.

The final editorial decision may be:

Accept;
Revise;
Reject.

Article Processing Charges, where applicable, become payable only after Final Editorial Acceptance and do not influence scholarly evaluation, reviewer selection, peer-review outcome, revision requests, acceptance, rejection, or any other scholarly editorial decision.

Principles of Academic Cooperation

Academic cooperation with the International Interdisciplinary Scientific Journal “Expert” is based on the following principles.

01Scholarly Competence

Participation in editorial, reviewer, and author activities should be supported by relevant academic, methodological, professional, or research competence appropriate to the role concerned.

02Editorial Independence

Scholarly evaluation and editorial decision-making are conducted independently from commercial, administrative, institutional, or other inappropriate external influence.

The Publisher does not determine the scientific validity, scholarly merit, acceptance, revision, or rejection of manuscripts.

03Transparency of Roles

Editorial Board participation, reviewer participation, and authorship are separate roles with different responsibilities, eligibility requirements, and decision-making procedures.

No role automatically creates entitlement to another form of participation.

04Conflicts of Interest

Participants are expected to disclose relevant conflicts of interest and to comply with the Journal’s applicable conflict-of-interest requirements.

Where a conflict may affect independence, impartiality, or appropriate participation, the matter must be managed in accordance with the relevant Journal policy or procedure.

05Research and Publication Integrity

All forms of cooperation must comply with the Journal’s Publication Ethics, applicable reviewer and editorial standards, authorship and attribution requirements, confidentiality obligations, and other relevant policies and procedures.
