ISPC and CBR: Scientific Excellence and Early-Career Development in AI Management
Abstract: The scientific initiatives ISPC (International Scientific-Practical Conference) and CBR (Create Better Researchers) form an integrative framework for scientific excellence, quality assurance, and the promotion of early-career researchers in Digital & AI Management. This article introduces both platforms and their core objectives.
Key Takeaways (Important Facts)
- The initiative Create Better Researchers (CBR) is directly anchored within the environment of the ISPC (International Scientific-Practical Conference).
- Focus on constructive feedback, scientific integrity, and independent judgment in Digital & AI Management research.
- CBR accompanies researchers across all qualification levels – from students to doctoral candidates and experienced reviewers.
- Development as part of the ISPC Strategy 2030 to sustainably strengthen international research networks.

Introduction to ISPC and CBR: An Overview
In the dynamic research field of Digital and AI Management, scientific quality assurance and the targeted development of early-career researchers are becoming increasingly important. The platforms ISPC (ispc.info) and its embedded initiative Create Better Researchers (cbr.international) address precisely this need.
While the ISPC serves as an international conference platform and networking hub, CBR (“Create Better Researchers”) focuses on the methodological and content-related support of scholars. The goal of both initiatives is not only to support researchers with individual publications, but also to establish sustainable scientific skills and critical thinking capabilities.
The Guiding Principle of Create Better Researchers (CBR)
The primary guiding principle of CBR is: “Develop the researcher. Strengthen the research.” High-quality scientific guidance is characterized not merely by pointing out weaknesses in manuscripts, but by conveying why they matter and what next methodological steps will lead to success.
At the center of this development process is always the researcher’s own critical and independent judgment. The cycle typically comprises five key phases:
- 01 Question: Clarification and sharpening of the research question.
- 02 Evidence: Systematic collection and examination of scientific evidence.
- 03 Feedback: Constructive exchange and peer review.
- 04 Revision: Methodological and content-related revision of work.
- 05 Reflection: Critical reflection on one’s own scientific practice.
Target Groups and Integration into the ISPC Strategy 2030
CBR is aimed at actors at various stages of their academic careers:
- First Steps: Talented undergraduate and committed master’s students with research ambitions.
- Scientific Voice: Doctoral candidates, early-career researchers, and practitioners transitioning into academia.
- Sharing Experience: Experienced researchers, reviewers, and mentors who want to share their knowledge.
As part of the ISPC Strategy 2030, the initiative combines scientific excellence, international exchange, and academic mentorship for emerging scholars.
