Each Advisory Board member brings extensive experience in academic publishing, editorial leadership, and research, representing diverse disciplines and international perspectives.
The Asian Digital Library is committed to ensuring that all evaluation and advisory processes remain fair, transparent, and unbiased.
Independence in Decision-Making
Members involved in journal evaluation or advisory activities must maintain complete independence. Any member with a direct or indirect association with a journal under consideration — whether through editorial roles, authorship, institutional affiliation, or financial interest — must recuse themselves from the evaluation and decision-making process.
Disclosure Requirements
All Advisory Board members are required to provide full and ongoing disclosure of:
Institutional affiliations
Editorial roles in journals or publishing organizations
Funding sources or financial interests
Any relationships that may influence impartial judgment
These disclosures are regularly reviewed to safeguard the integrity of the evaluation process.
Zero-Tolerance for Bias
ADL maintains a strict zero-tolerance policy toward any form of bias, conflict of interest, or unethical influence. Failure to comply with these principles may result in removal from advisory roles and exclusion from all decision-making activities.
Through a robust governance framework and the active involvement of its Advisory Board, the Asian Digital Library ensures that all decisions are made with accountability, objectivity, and adherence to global best practices.
