ScienceGuardians is operated by a dedicated team of highly skilled data and IT professionals who have undergone extensive training in academic publishing, ethics, and integrity. While not publishing authors themselves, these experts have been thoroughly educated in the processes involved in academic publication, including peer review, authorship, conflict of interest management, and scientific misconduct prevention.

This specialized training ensures that they possess a deep understanding of the academic landscape while maintaining complete neutrality. Their lack of involvement in academic publishing guarantees there is no conflict of interest, allowing them to administer the platform impartially and fairly. ScienceGuardians’ operations are built on the principles of transparency and accountability, ensuring that our platform remains a trusted space for the global academic community.

ScienceGuardians is funded by the generous donations of senior scientists, legal advisors, and ethics and integrity experts. These individuals provide invaluable counsel on a variety of academic and legal topics, lending their expertise to ensure that the platform upholds the highest standards of scientific integrity.

However, it is important to emphasize that these donors and advisors have no influence over the operational decisions or executive management of ScienceGuardians. Their role is purely advisory, with no say in the day-to-day functioning or governance of the platform. This ensures that ScienceGuardians operates with complete independence, free from external interference, and remains a neutral, unbiased platform dedicated to safeguarding the integrity of science.
