The document outlines the criteria for submitting journals to assessment panels for evaluation, requiring a minimum number of recent issues depending on the journal's publication frequency. It also discusses a revised policy focusing on scholarliness, integrity, and quality research over subsidies. Institutions are encouraged to establish Research Integrity Committees to ensure compliance and proper conduct. Authors will need to provide justifications explaining their book's scholarly contribution when submitting to panels.
