The key role of a journal editor is to promote the journal as the best journal to publish in. For any journal the editor will need to encourage new and established authors to submit articles and set up a reliable panel of expert reviewers. Editors are also responsible for offering feedback to reviewers when required and ensure that any feedback to authors is constructive.
In terms of responsibilities:
1. An editor should endeavor to be a leader in the specific field of practice underpinning journal content as it helps the journal development, presence and standing within the international community.
2. Depending on how the journal is managed and how it is structured, an Editor may have to make all the decisions regarding which articles to accept or reject for publication. However many journals will have Associate Editors, Assistant Editors or Section Editors to help them with making those important decisions. For example, any decision involving unethical practice, will often involve the publisher or their representative alongside the Editor and a Section Editor who has discovered the issue
3. As an editor, you will have three or four groups of people to contact on a regular basis: a) the publisher, b) the authors c) the reviewers and d) in some journals direct contact with the production team who manage the publication side of the journal. This latter group will work with the editor to agree which articles to place in each edition, ensure that the Editor does not use more than the agreed number of pages per issue (especially if paper based ) and send editor information concerning all articles in their various stages of the editorial process. The Production team member dedicated to that Editor may also be responsible for communicating with authors and reviewers directly.
Q. What are the typical criteria for an Editor position?These would be:
1. Expertise and experience in the specialist field related to the journal
2. Publication record of a number of articles and /or books ( usually in / related to the specialist field )
3. Being a reviewer for an international peer reviewed journal
4. Some journals ask for a PhD qualification or a senior research position with equivalent experience in research and scholarship
5. Enthusiasm to undertake the Editor role , but ensuring recognition of all aspects of the reality of the role and the work involved
Q. How do you become an Editor?If you have aspirations to become an editor, one of the ways is through a direct invitation from a publisher. This may happen as a result of your expertise in a specific field of science or discipline, in particular when Publishers wish to publish a new journal. It could also be that you had approached them with the idea of setting up a new journal with their Publishing Company.
Q. What is an Editorial Board?We will use this one title in this guidance, but in various countries and organisations this title may be different. For example this may be the Editorial Council, Editorial Committee or other similar name.
It is important to state the difference between those individuals directly involved in the management and development of the journal from those who may be reviewers and also adopt an advisory capacity.
An Editorial Board is primarily made up of a team of individuals that work directly with the Editor to develop the journal and promote new initiatives. Members of the Board may also take responsibility for key activities linked to the journal, for example the Book review editor or Section Editor (such as Section Editor for Systematic Reviews ) .
The Editorial Board normally appoints a Chairperson, who could be one of the board members or could also be the Publisher. When there are meetings, either face to face, teleconferences or Skype, the Chairperson would manage the agenda and the meeting of the Editorial Board
Depending on the roles and responsibilities set by the publisher, the Editor typically reports directly to the Editorial Board.
Q. What is the role of an Editorial Board?The role of the Editorial Board is:
1. To offer expertise in their specialist area
2. To review submitted manuscripts
3. To advise on journal policy and scope
4. To identify topics for Special Issues of the journal or recommend a Conference which would promote the journal , which they might also help to organize and/or guest edit
5. To attract new and established authors and article submissions
6. To submit some of their own work for consideration, ensuring that they adhere to Conflict of Interest rules and stating their relationship to the journal. This is very important as the journal cannot be seen to publish only papers from members of the Editorial Board.
7. It is important that Editorial Boards have a regular communication forum , either face to face in person (Depending on their country of origin, funding availability, etc.) or as more journals are doing today, communicating by teleconference or Skype type events.
Q. How many Editors should a journal have?This very much depends on the Publisher and the budget for all remunerated posts. There are no specific rules but essentially there should only be one Editor or Editor‐in‐chief. Then there can be a number of Associate Editors and / or Section Editors who will have specific responsibilities within the journal structure.
If there are several sub‐editors in place, the Editor must outline the responsibilities for each role and who among them will undertake total responsibility for all decisions made while ensuring the quality of the decisions. This type of total responsibility is more often seen in journals where is a large volume of articles and where the main Editor is no longer in a position to be able to undertake all the decisions on their own given the volume of work involved.
Q. What is a Special issue of the journal?A ‘Special Issue’ is a collection of papers focused on a specific topic. It may also be a collection of papers from the Conference associated with the journal or linked Association. Both of which can then be used to promote the journal.
Q. Is there any salary providing to editor?No, but we pay editorial fees based on the criteria of our publication and the payment is shared on the basis of the percentage that is received by the author after the successful publication.
All journal publishers and editors cannot succeed without some kind of peer review process and must abide by guidelines from a Publishing Ethics. journal reviewers are essential in maintaining the high standards and quality of the articles in the journals.
Q. What do reviewers do?Reviewers evaluate article submissions to journals based on the requirements of that journal, predefined criteria, and the quality, completeness and accuracy of the research presented. They provide feedback on the paper, suggest improvements and make a recommendation to the editor about whether to accept, reject or request changes to the article. The ultimate decision always rests with the editor but reviewers play a significant role in determining the outcome.
Q. Will there be any fee to the reviewer for peer review?No, but if publishers provide articles / books / thesis directly to the reviewer and they have reviewed it within a time period (from a maximum period of 1 month), after successful publication, the publisher will pay each reviewer for their valuable comments and report submitted (prescribed format). Please note that the amount of the article reviewed is not fixed and it is entirely up to the publishers which will be very modest.
Q. How can I become a reviewer?Typically reviewers are invited to conduct a review by a journal or editor. Editors usually select researchers that are experts in the same subject area as the paper. However, if you think you would be a good reviewer for a specific journal you can always contact one of the journal's editors. For directly associate with publication as journal reviewer click here Register as Journal Reviewer
Q. How do we keep the review process on time?o The reviewers of your manuscript will be given 4 weeks to complete their reviews, depending on the situations below.
o When we send out your manuscript to reviewers, we allow 4 weeks for them to return their review reports and ask them to confirm if they can meet this deadline.
o One week later we will send a request for confirmation to those who did not reply.
o Another week later we will send a request for confirmation to those who did not reply. If any reviewer does not confirm within 24 hours, we will send your manuscript to another reviewer and ask for confirmation again. This new reviewer will also have 4 weeks to review.
o On the due date, we will send a reminder to those who did not return their review reports. This reminder will be repeated until all reviewers return the reports.
o If any reviewer declines to review the paper at this late stage, we will immediately find an alternate reviewer and repeat the aforementioned review process. In order to protect the authors and minimize the occurrence of this situation, a reviewer who declines to review at this late stage will be removed from our reviewer list and the institution in which the reviewer works will be formally notified, unless the reneging reviewer has a compelling reason for declining the commitment to review.
o Finally, if for some reason you do not hear from the editor after 8 weeks, please e-mail your paper ID to the editor-in-chief and explain the situation so that proper action could be taken immediately.
