Nomination 

The Academy employs a rigorous nomination and peer-review process to select its fellows. Fellowship is by invitation only.

Invitations are extended through the following process:

(1) Nomination or Recommendation
 A candidate is successfully nominated by an existing fellow or recommended by an Academic Committee member, with the support of an existing fellow.

(2) Initial Peer Review
The candidate's academic record is reviewed and approved by two existing Fellows during the initial review stage.

(3) Academic Committee Evaluation
The Academic Committee evaluates and confirms the candidate's scholarly achievements, academic standing, and contributions to their field.

(4) Election by the Academic Committee
The candidate is elected by a majority vote of the relevant members of the Academic Committee participating in the election process.

(5) Confirmation by the Executive Board
The election results are reviewed and confirmed by the Executive Board of the Academy.

(6) Issuance and Acceptance of the Invitation
A formal invitation letter is issued by the Academic Committee on behalf of the Academy to the successfully elected candidate. Only upon the candidate's acceptance of the invitation does the election become effective and the fellowship officially conferred.

There is no limit to the number of nominations a nominator may submit, and nominators may propose candidates from any division or discipline. While academic excellence remains the Academy’s foremost criterion, the Academy also welcomes nominations that may help broaden its scholarly presence across different countries, regions, and underrepresented fields.
