Boards and Committees

• Brieflands, as an STM publisher, contracts with academic universities and institutions to provide publishing services for their journals. The editors of these journals are introduced by their respective owners and are re-evaluated annually by the governing board of Brieflands to ensure that they meet the editorial board's criteria for independence and responsibility. Therefore, staff editors are completely independent of the publisher.  
   
• The Brieflands editors are paid a fixed salary by the journal owners, and their payments are not linked to the number of papers published in the journal. Editors are required to declare all relevant conflicts of interest and must not participate in reviewing any paper for which they have a competing interest. The editor-in-chief is responsible for the scientific context of all published materials in the journal. A conflict of interest statement is declared below each staff editor, which shows their relationship to activities over the previous 12 months since the last update. However, relevant competing interests from previous years will also be taken into account when deciding whether it is appropriate for an editor to handle a paper.

Editorial Board members are distinguished and top researchers in the fields of the journal. They provide advice to the Brieflands editors on journal scope and policy and serve as Academic Editors for manuscript submissions. The majority of members are volunteers and unpaid, while those paid for their time commitment to the journal are indicated by an asterisk (*). These paid members make an ongoing, specific time commitment to the journal and receive a stipend in acknowledgment of their efforts, including fast-track review, special discounts on the acceptance fee, or annual gifts from the journal.

To contact one of the above-mentioned boards or staff members, we kindly invite you to submit a ticket to the publisher with complete details. Our colleagues in the Support department will review your ticket and reply to you as soon as possible. Your tickets are more than welcome via the "Submit a Ticket" option at https://brieflands.com/forms/support.

We welcome outstanding researchers and dedicated scholars to join our Editorial Board and contribute to the advancement of high-quality scientific publishing. Serving as an Editorial Board Member offers valuable professional benefits, including recognition of academic service, opportunities to collaborate with an international network of experts, involvement in editorial decision-making and peer-review standards, and enhanced visibility within your research community. If you are interested in contributing your expertise and supporting the development of the journal, we invite you to apply.
