Transforming Research Experiences into Shared Knowledge.
At ExPros, our mission is to advance transparency, credibility, and ethical accountability in scholarly communication.
These Contributor Guidelines outline how we maintain the platform’s integrity, who can contribute, and the principles that guide all participation.
To ensure credibility and maintain the scholarly value of all content, only verified contributors may share reviews or insights on ExPros.
Eligible contributors include:
- Researchers, scholars, or academicians affiliated with recognised institutions.
- Individuals verified through a valid university email address or ORCID ID.
Verification ensures that all reviews originate from authentic members of the research community.
To establish a credible foundation, ExPros currently lists only journals indexed in Scopus, PubMed, or Web of Science (SCIE, SSCI, or ESCI).
Reviews can be written exclusively for these verified journals.
This selective inclusion ensures that discussions remain focused on journals with established standards of quality and academic integrity.
Every review undergoes an internal quality review before publication to ensure it meets ExPros’ community guidelines.
Our moderation process ensures that:
- Reviews remain respectful, factual, and evidence-based.
- Defamatory, threatening, or unsubstantiated statements are removed.
- Confidential or sensitive information (such as peer review content or author identities) is not disclosed.
Contributors may choose to post as verified anonymous authors, editors, reviewers, or readers, maintaining transparency without compromising privacy.
