The most important task assigned to the Panels is the evaluation and classification of academic publication channels in the fields covered by each individual Panel. The practical evaluation work takes place through a web portal designed for the Panelists’ use. The Panels only convene when necessary and mainly for the introduction of their work and during the review of ratings. When needed, joint meetings of the Panel chairs are also organised.

For peer-reviewed articles and monographs, the decision on the Publication Forum level calls for the identification of the correct publication channel. The choice of the channel depends on the type of publication.

All writings published by academic journals, conferences or book publishers are not scientific or peer-reviewed but one publication channel can include both refereed and non-refereed publications. The first step to take is to determine whether a publication is, indeed, scientific and peer-reviewed as defined in the data collection by the Ministry of Education and Culture.
