How board expertise may be used
Board involvement supports the editorial process.
Board membership does not guarantee involvement in every manuscript. Editorial leadership may consult board members when a submission requires additional scope, review, or subject-matter judgment.
Scope and fit
Board expertise may help clarify whether a manuscript belongs within the journal’s active research coverage.
Reviewer identification
Board members may support reviewer identification when a manuscript requires specialized scientific, biomedical, technical, or interdisciplinary review.
Subject assessment
Board members may provide subject-matter evaluation or help interpret reviewer feedback when technical claims require careful editorial judgment.
Integrity oversight
Board expertise may support handling of research-integrity questions, disclosure concerns, reproducibility issues, and post-publication matters.
Appointment, conflicts, and recusal
Board governance should stay transparent.
All editorial board appointments are made by the journal’s editorial leadership. Board composition may evolve as Jivaro Journal develops its section coverage, reviewer network, publication program, and research-policy infrastructure.
Appointment
Appointments are based on editorial needs, subject coverage, review capacity, and the journal’s developing scope.
Conflicts
Board members should disclose relevant financial, professional, academic, personal, or institutional conflicts.
Recusal
A board member may be recused from a manuscript when impartiality could reasonably be questioned.
