Dear Colleagues,

The Global Consortium for Systems Research (GCSR) is leading the collaborative peer review process for Closing the Compliance Gap: System-wide Transformation Methods for the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, a publication at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) that is currently undergoing a Global Stakeholder Consultation Process at the Center for Global Agenda (CGA) at Unbuilt Labs. https://unbuiltlabs.com/cga

Because the aim of the collaborative peer review is to get the widest possible participation and broadest possible expertise, those who apply are generally accepted. Early career researchers and researchers from historically underrepresented communities are encouraged to apply. To apply: https://forms.gle/15uM4vpzi5adBZqF6 

Collaborative Peer Reviewers will be formally credited in the acknowledgements of the publication

Process Details:
1. Upon a successful application, you will receive a confidential manuscript during Q1 (January to March) of 2023. The manuscript will have up to 250-300 pages but you are welcome to review anywhere from 1 section (1000 words roughly) within a chapter where you have relevant expertise, to the full book.
2. Due to the urgency of the publication, the first round of feedback from each collaborative peer reviewer is expected within 2-4 weeks.
3. You will email your review to Marvin Cheung, the author of the publication and Chair of GCSR directly. It needs to include (a) which sections you have read and which sections you are reviewing, (b) your review and suggestions regarding logic, structure, style, and clarity - this can be anywhere from one sentence to a more substantial review, (c) confirm whether you would like to be formally recognized as a collaborative peer reviewer in the acknowledgements.
4. Marvin will respond to your feedback accordingly.

Please note:
The collaborative peer reviewer program is coordinated by GCSR and is only open to affiliates of GCSR at this time. Becoming an Associate Member is free, simply sign up on the academic mailing list at JISCMail: https://jiscmail.ac.uk/cgi-bin/wa-jisc.exe?A0=GCSR You can also join a Working Group for free here: https://forms.gle/vD4jLsrD3bBmGias7

We would like to extend an invitation to submit an expert statement to "Closing the Compliance Gap: System-wide Transformation Methods for the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals", a publication at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR). The Global Stakeholder Consultation Process hosted by the Center for Global Agenda (CGA) at Unbuilt Labs will close on the 20th of December 2022. 

The proposed framework is rooted in the theory and practice of global diplomacy: the set of methods, principles, and actions to achieve the common interests of the global community. The framework recommends directing funds and efforts towards four major areas including Area 1: Cultural Diplomacy, Area 2: Science Diplomacy, Area 3: Preventive Diplomacy, and Area 4: Disaster Diplomacy, as well as five methods within each area.

To learn more about the framework, please see the Center for Global Agenda (CGA) website: https://unbuiltlabs.com/cga as well as the High Level Recommendations and Global Strategy announced at the UN General Assembly Science Summit https://unbuiltlabs.com/cga/high-level-recommendations-and-global-strat…

We encourage you to submit an expert statement for the publication if you are working with methods to advance the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals that are historically underrepresented, underappreciated, or underfunded. Select statements will be included in full in the final publication.

Identifying solutions for Anti-Corruption Agencies to achieve success in ASEAN.

Specialized Anti-Corruption Agencies, a relatively new public institution present in 114 countries by 2020, are still in the early stages of development.

With little research available and hardly any studies to identify success factors, the new UNDP FairBiz Guidance Note aims to provide direction to address this core issue with a 4 steps approach to strengthen ACAs in ASEAN and beyond.
