We have an internal editorial board of experienced editors and a team of six directors. We also engage freelance reviewers - mainly academicians (PhD holders) - in relevant disciplines who critique each document before we publish. We share experts' review reports with authors who are expected to correct documents to attain publishable standards before they are published and printed.
