A named conference
The record should refer to a specific conference or edition. A badge on one page should not silently stand for every event an organiser runs.
CONFERENCE BADGE
A mark with
a record behind it.
A useful conference badge gives researchers a route to inspect its context. ScholarVault’s badge experience connects the visible mark with the conference record and its supporting evidence.

Show the context.
Keep it checkable.
Researchers should be able to find out what a mark means, where it came from and what its underlying record contains.
An inspectable scope
Assessment information, sources and dates help explain what was reviewed. The badge should provide a path to those details.
A meaningful public destination
A visitor needs a working record link—not a screenshot that cannot be checked. Status and validity should be read from that record.
THE BADGE JOURNEY
Evidence first.
Presentation follows.
Help researchers inspect the conference record. Badge eligibility and issue conditions depend on the applicable assessment and review process.
- 01
Identify the conference
Provide the official edition page, organiser details and the programme that researchers will investigate.
- 02
Review the evidence
Read the assessment scope and sources. Resolve missing or conflicting information through the appropriate review workflow.
- 03
Establish eligibility
Check the applicable issue conditions with ScholarVault. A paid request or attractive website alone does not create eligibility.
- 04
Use the issued record
When a badge is issued, use its provided embed and verification destination. Keep the public page tied to the correct edition.
- 05
Keep the record current
Researchers should be able to inspect the current status rather than rely on an old image.

TWO DIFFERENT RECORDS
Conference evidence.
Participant credentials.
A conference assessment badge describes an event record. An issued participant credential describes an eligible person’s activity in a supported edition.
Conference assessment badge
Inspect the event, edition, assessment scope and available source evidence. It is not a promise of publication, indexing or acceptance.
Issued participant credential
Inspect the individual credential reference, conference and issuance context. Participation records and personal documents do not automatically become credentials.
QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR EDITION

Discuss the next step.
Share your official conference page and the badge context you need. The team can establish the applicable process.
BADGE QUESTIONS
A little clarity
before you embed.
Explore the distinctions behind the mark.
Can I buy a badge?
A request or payment does not itself establish assessment eligibility. Follow the applicable evidence review and issuance process.
Does a badge guarantee indexing or publication?
No. Publication and indexing depend on the venue, publisher and relevant indexing body. Read original sources before committing.
Can I use this specimen on my website?
The specimen is an illustration. Use only the actual badge and record supplied for your eligible conference edition.
Where do researchers verify an issued record?
Follow the verification destination attached to the issued badge or credential. Check the reference and edition match your event.
