The platform deliberately separates verification (is this person who they say they are?) from recognition (have they met defined standards of contribution?). A profile climbs only on evidence.
Professors apply directly or are submitted by an approved institution. We never rely on self-reported information alone — every claim is cross-checked against independent sources.
Identity, institutional email, official university profile, CV, qualifications, publications, and references are submitted for review.
Affiliation, credentials, and research records are confirmed against university sites, accreditation bodies, and scholarly identifiers.
A subject-area panel assesses the profile, then approves, returns it for correction, or assigns the appropriate recognition level.
