Contribute first-hand knowledge you are authorized to share, distinguish experience from general evidence, disclose relevant relationships, and expect factual review without a promise of favorable coverage.
What contributions are useful?
Procurement Professor is interested in named practitioner interviews, documented operating examples, clearly explained methods, public data, and informed challenges to accepted procurement assumptions. A contribution should help readers understand a real decision, tradeoff, outcome, or limitation. Promotional copy, undisclosed ghostwriting, fabricated quotations, and unsupported superlatives are not accepted as editorial evidence.
What must a contributor confirm?
- Your name, relevant role, and affiliation are accurate and may be verified.
- You are authorized to share the information and are not exposing confidential, personal, privileged, export-controlled, or procurement-sensitive material.
- Examples are described honestly, with identifying details removed only when the reason is explained and the remaining account is still supportable.
- Relevant employers, clients, vendors, investments, sponsorships, or other material conflicts are disclosed.
How does review work?
The editor may verify factual statements, request source documents, edit for clarity and length, add context, or decline a submission. Contributors may review their quotations and factual biographical details before publication when practical, but they do not receive control over independent framing, headlines, conclusions, or other participants’ views.
How are AI-assisted submissions handled?
Contributors must remain accountable for everything submitted under their name. Automated drafting does not verify a fact, establish authorship, or permit the reuse of protected or confidential material. Any material factual claim still requires support under the editorial standards.
How do I propose an interview?
