To ensure a well-balanced and internationally representative selection of affiliated journals and their allotment to groups 2 and 3, the Executive Council is counseled by an international Advisory Board for Publications, appointed by the Executive Council according to Article 5.9 of IFToMM’s constitution, and consisting of ten internationally renowned experts including as chair the Executive Council (EC) representative for publications. The Advisory Board for Publications evaluates proposals for journal affiliation, defines the rationale for the allotment to groups, coordinates the lines of Memoranda of Understanding between IFToMM and the Publishers, defines the contributions to IFToMM by the affiliated journals, and reports to the Executive Council. The final decision on affiliation and allotment to tiers is determined by the Executive Council during its regular meetings based on the recommendation of the Advisory Board for Publications.

Proposals for publication media affiliation can be directed to publication-affairs@iftomm-world.org using the corresponding application form “IFToMM Form 14 – Publication Media Affiliation Request.pdf” downloadable under IFToMM forms repository .
