Editorial & Reviewer Applications
Editorial & Reviewer Applications
ScholarVertex Publications is constituting the editorial team and reviewer panel for the Vertex International Journal of Law, Management & Social Sciences (VIJLMSS). We invite qualified academics, researchers, and practitioners to apply for the roles below. There is no fee to apply, and applying creates no obligation on either side — appointments are made by invitation after review of applications.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis
Open roles: Editor-in-Chief · Associate Editor · Advisory / Editorial Board Member · Reviewer. Confirmed appointments are listed on the journal’s Editorial Board page as they are made.
Please complete one application per role you wish to be considered for.
Who can apply
- Editor-in-Chief — a senior researcher able to set the journal’s scope and standards and take final editorial decisions.
- Associate Editor — a researcher able to handle manuscripts within their area, including triage and reviewer selection.
- Advisory / Editorial Board Member — researchers with a record of publication and peer review in the journal’s scope areas, who help triage submissions, uphold editorial standards, and mentor first-time authors.
- Reviewer — doctoral researchers, post-doctoral scholars, and early-career academics willing to provide constructive, timely, double-anonymous reviews.
How to apply
Complete the online application form. It takes about five minutes, and every application is acknowledged by email.
Prefer email? Send your CV, ORCID iD, and a short statement of interest to [email protected] with the subject line VIJLMSS Editorial / Reviewer Application — [Your name] instead of using the form.
What you will need
- Your ORCID iD (format 0000-0000-0000-0000).
- An institutional email address — free webmail accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook, and similar) are not accepted.
- Your affiliation, designation, and country, plus a link to your faculty or institutional profile page.
- A short CV or résumé (PDF or Word, max 10 MB) and a passport-style photo (JPG, PNG, or WebP, max 4 MB).

- A declaration of any conflicts of interest, or a statement that there are none.
What happens next
- We acknowledge your application by email on receipt.
- The editorial office reviews applications on a rolling basis and may contact you for clarification.
- Appointments are made by invitation. VIJLMSS does not list board members or reviewers until an appointment is finalised, and applying creates no obligation on either side.
