What happens next

  1. 1
    Editorial review

    An editor checks the wording and evidence, and may seek subject advice.

  2. 2
    Final check and decision

    The final wording receives an advisory AI check before an administrator decides whether to publish it.

  3. 3
    Follow the outcome

    Your proposal and its current status remain visible in My Account.

Nothing changes automatically. Suggestions and endorsements inform editorial judgement; they are not votes.

A separate role

Help review proposals in your subject

People with relevant professional or lived experience can apply to give private advice on proposals matching their approved subjects.

  • Matching proposals appear in your specialist inbox.
  • You can decline work outside your expertise or where you have a conflict.
  • Your advice supports the editor; it does not grant publishing access.
