  • Holders of a graduate degree (Master’s or higher)

• Research contributions

• Development of educational materials

• Expert consultation

• Peer review participation

• Blog writing and editorial content

Important Requirements

• Peer Review: All submitted materials must be open to peer review before publication or distribution.

• Worldview Sensitivity: ICRTS is a Christian research institute. All collaborations and submissions must be made with sensitivity to a Christian worldview. While we welcome research and dialogue from other worldview perspectives, we will not accept any content that is hostile or promotes aggressive negativity toward other worldviews or the individuals who hold them.

• Respectful Scholarship: All submissions will be evaluated for objectivity, scholarly tone, and their ability to foster healthy, respectful dialogue and advance knowledge.

A Note on Contributor Compensation

ICRTS is currently in its early stages of development. At this time, all contributions and other collaborative projects are offered on a voluntary basis, in the shared spirit of advancing knowledge, fostering sacred inquiry, and promoting meaningful dialogue across cultural, religious, and theological spheres.

We recognize and deeply value the time, thought, and faith-filled labor that go into every submission. While we are not yet able to offer financial compensation, we are committed to honoring our contributors through visible recognition, author spotlights, contributor certificates, and lasting inclusion in the scholarly and spiritual legacy of ICRTS.

As the institute matures and grows into financial sustainability, we plan to implement a compensation structure that appropriately reflects the value of our contributors’ work and the sacred trust they place in us by sharing it.

Until then, we are grateful for every voice that helps us rediscover God’s world—one sacred contribution at a time.

Let's collaborate!
