Editorial Board & Scientific Policy – Encyclopedia of Syria
Editorial Board and Scientific Policy
In producing its knowledge content, the “Encyclopedia of Syria” relies on a centralized editorial board consisting of elite researchers, documentation enthusiasts, and experts in Syrian affairs—historically, geographically, and culturally. We do not rely on random individual blogging; rather, we operate according to an institutional system that ensures information accuracy and objective presentation, providing a comprehensive and reliable reference for the Arab reader and researchers worldwide.
Research Team Specialties
Our editorial team is divided into specialized research units covering all aspects of the Syrian scene, ensuring that every piece of information is written and reviewed within its correct context:
- History and Documentation Unit: Dedicated to documenting ancient Syria and its civilizations, accurately monitoring the events of modern Syria, in addition to archiving wars and battles, and documenting major incidents and disasters that shaped the Syrian memory.
- Heritage and Identity Unit: Works on observing material heritage (antiquities and architecture) and intangible heritage (folklore, customs, and traditions) to protect them from extinction and record them for future generations.
- Geography and Environment Unit: Paints an accurate picture of Syria’s physical geography, including biodiversity (flora and fauna), and provides precise and detailed documentation of Syrian cities, villages, and places with their demographic and topographic characteristics.
- Support Units: The picture is completed by specialized editors in the fields of culture, society, science and technology, and finance and business, in addition to a special biography section to document the lives of influential figures.
Independence and Funding (Transparency)
One of the most important pillars of the “Encyclopedia of Syria” is absolute neutrality. To ensure that the content is not subject to any political, partisan, or ideological direction, we would like to clarify to our readers that the encyclopedia is a completely independent project and does not receive any financial support or donations from any governmental, private, or external organizations.
The technical and operational continuity of the website relies exclusively on revenues generated from Google AdSense ads displayed to visitors. This model guarantees our freedom of editorial decision and the dedication of our efforts solely to serving truth and knowledge.
Work Methodology and Quality Assurance
To compensate the reader for not knowing “who the writer is” by name, we offer a strict commitment to “how the article was written.” Published materials go through verification stages, including:
- Collection and Research: Relying on reliable sources and references.
- Neutrality: Stripping texts of personal opinions.
- Review: Verifying the accuracy of numbers, dates, and names.
