Affiliations and journal profiles: ILCR Editorial Board. Institutional affiliation does not imply institutional sponsorship of Press books.
Editorial responsibilities
The Editor-in-Chief oversees scholarly direction and editorial standards. The Managing Editor coordinates proposals and review records. The Deputy Editor-in-Chief supports editorial coordination and continuity. Board members advise on relevant subject areas and may handle books within their expertise when assigned. Book acceptance requires documented scholarly assessment; board membership alone does not constitute review of a manuscript.
Independent decisions and conflicts
Editorial decisions must be based on scholarly merit. Authors, editors and reviewers must declare relevant interests. A board member’s own book requires independent editorial handling; they cannot select their own reviewers or decide acceptance. Affiliation, funding and payment cannot purchase acceptance or indexing.
Governance and operational readiness
IBIRC provides institutional oversight of the Press. The Centre retains responsibility for recording appointments and role acceptance. Formal manuscript intake remains closed while policy adoption and production arrangements are completed. The production lead and independent appeals contact have not yet been announced. Technical support does not confer authority to make scholarly decisions.
