Recruiting Editorial Board Members

 

Center for Energy and Economics Studies is recruiting Editorial Board Members with expertise across all areas of our scope for our new editorial initiative. To increase our engagement with the Editorial Board and community at large, we are piloting a collaborative editorial model whereby Editorial Board Members assess manuscripts in their areas of expertise alongside the in-house Editorial team. We are recruiting Editorial Board Members who will work closely with our in-house Editors to select for important advances of broad interest in the application of Energy and Economics.

 

We are interested in individuals with significant expertise in any area of our scope. We would also be interested in early career researchers that have demonstrated significant contribution to their field, in an effort to be more inclusive of the research community as a whole.

 

Benefits and responsibilities

 

You will work together with in-house, professional editors in evaluating and selecting manuscripts as well as managing the peer review process and developing papers that the journal publishes. As an Editorial Board Member you will be responsible for the scientific quality of the manuscripts that you handle. You will adhere to the ethos, editorial standards, policies and scope of the journal and ensure that manuscripts are handled efficiently and appropriately.

 

An Editorial Board Member should be willing to handle a minimum of 2-3 manuscripts per month.

 

We understand that researchers may have limited bandwidth, and so we will try to ensure that this role is not too onerous. Editorial Board Members will be given access to training resources to help develop your editorial skills, and our in-house Editorial and administrative team will be on hand to provide additional support where required.

 

As an Editorial Board Member, you will benefit in the following ways:

 

• The opportunity to shape the editorial direction and priorities of a leading human genetics journal as well as the publishing landscape by acting as an advocate for the active research community
• Serve your community by providing efficient, robust and constructive handling of papers, and promoting progressive publishing ideas.
• Increase your knowledge of your field by exposure to research, and the expertise of your peers.
• Raise your profile and advance your career by being an active participant in your field, through your work on the journal and interactions with authors, reviewers and fellow editors.
• Behind-the-scenes view into how editorial decisions are made at Genome Medicine and the peer review process.
