1. Our Editorial Board
All content on NeucitePress is produced under the oversight of the NeucitePress Editorial Board — a multidisciplinary team of qualified experts spanning academic publishing, scholarly communication, medical writing, and research methodology. Editorial Board members hold doctoral degrees (PhD) in relevant disciplines or carry extensive industry experience in peer-reviewed publishing.
Doctoral researchers with active publication records in academic publishing, library science, information science, and scholarly communication.
Experienced journal editors, acquisition editors, and publishing consultants with hands-on experience at academic publishers and indexing bodies.
Specialists in medical writing, regulatory documentation, and clinical research publication — all with relevant professional certifications and publication track records.
2. Research & Writing Process
Every article begins with a structured research phase before any content is written. Our process:
- Topic scoping: The subject is mapped against existing authoritative literature. We identify knowledge gaps, common misconceptions, and questions our target readers most frequently ask.
- Primary source research: Writers consult official sources first — publisher websites, indexing bodies (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed), regulatory agencies (COPE, ICMJE), and government data (US Copyright Office, BLS). Secondary sources are used only when primary data is unavailable.
- Peer-reviewed literature review: Claims supported by research are cross-referenced against peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, and published industry reports.
- Draft creation: Content is written by a specialist in the subject area — a publishing professional for indexing topics, a medical communication expert for clinical publishing content, and an academic researcher for methodology topics.
- Data verification: All statistics, pricing data, timelines, and platform specifications are verified against the originating source immediately before publication. We do not republish unverified third-party statistics.
3. Expert Review Process
No article is published on NeucitePress without passing a two-stage review:
Technical Accuracy Review
A subject-matter expert on the Editorial Board reviews all factual claims, citations, data points, and recommendations for accuracy, completeness, and currency. Any unverified claims are flagged for correction or removal.
Editorial Quality Review
A senior editor reviews for clarity, completeness, appropriate depth, and practical usefulness to the reader. Content that does not genuinely help the reader is revised or rejected — we do not publish for SEO volume alone.
Articles covering medical publishing, clinical research, or regulatory compliance undergo an additional review by a medical communication specialist before publication.
4. Sources & Citations
We cite our sources. Our sourcing hierarchy:
| Priority | Source Type | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | Primary official sources | Scopus, Web of Science, COPE, ICMJE, KDP, IngramSpark, US Copyright Office |
| 2nd | Peer-reviewed journals | Learned Publishing, Journal of the Association for Information Science, Scientometrics |
| 3rd | Industry research | Bowker, NielsenIQ BookScan, Authors Guild, Alliance of Independent Authors |
| 4th | Government data | BLS Occupational Outlook, US Copyright Office, national library statistics |
We do not use anonymous sources, unverified social media data, or press releases as the sole basis for factual claims. All statistics include a sourced link where publicly accessible.
5. Update & Accuracy Policy
Academic publishing is a rapidly changing field. Platform policies, indexing criteria, royalty structures, and regulatory requirements change frequently. We maintain currency through:
- Scheduled reviews: All articles are reviewed for accuracy at least every 12 months. High-traffic articles covering rapidly changing topics (platform policies, indexing criteria) are reviewed every 6 months.
- Triggered reviews: When a major industry change occurs — a platform update, new COPE guidelines, indexing policy change — all affected articles are updated within 30 days.
- Publication dates: Every article displays both its original publication date and most recent review date so readers can assess currency.
6. Corrections Policy
We take factual accuracy seriously. If an error is identified:
- Minor errors (typos, outdated statistics) are corrected silently with the article’s “Last updated” date revised.
- Significant errors (incorrect facts, misleading claims) are corrected with a visible correction notice at the top of the article noting what was changed and when.
- Reader corrections: We welcome error reports at neucitepress.com/contact. Verified corrections are implemented within 5 business days.
7. Editorial Independence
NeucitePress editorial content is produced independently of commercial relationships. While NeucitePress offers publishing services and products, our editorial team operates independently. The following principles govern our independence:
- Advertisers and service partners have no influence over editorial content, recommendations, or platform comparisons.
- Our content team does not receive performance incentives tied to service sales or referrals.
- When NeucitePress services are relevant to an article topic, they are presented alongside third-party alternatives — not in place of them.
- Platform comparisons (e.g. KDP vs IngramSpark) are based solely on published, verifiable platform data — not commercial arrangements.
8. AI Use Disclosure
In the interest of full transparency, NeucitePress discloses how AI tools are and are not used in our content process:
- Research assistance and literature discovery
- Drafting support under expert supervision
- Grammar and clarity checks
- Formatting and structural consistency
- Generating facts, statistics, or data claims
- Replacing expert review or editorial judgment
- Writing recommendations without human verification
- Medical or regulatory guidance of any kind
All AI-assisted drafts are reviewed, fact-checked, and approved by a qualified Editorial Board member before publication. The Editorial Board bears full responsibility for published content regardless of how it was drafted.
We welcome feedback, corrections, and editorial enquiries from readers, researchers, and publishers.
