CFSBR C.A.S.E.

Class Assignment Series: Edition

The “CASE” acronym aligns naturally with the business and strategic-research community, portraying student work as case studies rather than mere assignments, elevating the perceived weight of every contribution.

The series is hosted on PubPub (MIT / Knowledge Futures Group), zero-cost, high scholarly credibility, with direct DOI deposition via Crossref at https://case.pubpub.org.

Why C.A.S.E.

Three pillars of student recognition

01

Permanent DOI

Every accepted assignment gets a Crossref-deposited Digital Object Identifier, a permanent, citeable record of authorship.

02

Indexed & Discoverable

Metadata harvested by Google Scholar and academic indexes, your work shows up where it matters.

03

Portfolio-Ready

Build an official publication record from your first undergraduate year, protected by a permanent IP timestamp.

Classification Criteria

Series vs. Journal

Two distinct publications under one umbrella, preserving rigor at the top while inviting volume at the base.
