Editorial Team
Roles and responsibilities
- Editor-in-Chief. Sets the journal's editorial policy, assigns manuscripts to handling editors, and makes final decisions on publication.
- Associate Editors. Handle manuscripts in their area of expertise: they select reviewers, assess the reviews, and recommend a decision to the Editor-in-Chief. They also advise on the journal's scope and policies.
- Managing Editors. Run the editorial office: initial screening, communication with authors and reviewers, and production.
All editors declare competing interests and withdraw from any manuscript where they have one. The Editor-in-Chief reviews the composition of the editorial board periodically to ensure that it reflects the journal's scope and readership, and members are listed with their agreement.
