Editorial Board

An international team of researchers safeguarding the scientific quality, integrity, and global relevance of the journal.

The Editorial Board is responsible for maintaining the scientific quality, integrity, and international relevance of Intelligence, Informatics and Infrastructure. Members advise on editorial policy, manage and support the peer-review process, promote the journal within their research communities, and ensure that published content is consistent with the journal's aims and scope. Associate Editors handle manuscripts and recommend decisions; the Editorial Board makes the final decision. Editors and members recuse themselves from handling any manuscript for which they have a conflict of interest. Members are appointed by the Editor-in-Chief on the basis of their expertise and standing, normally for a two-year term that is renewable, and the composition of the Board is reviewed periodically to keep it aligned with the journal's aims and scope.
