Job Description
Assistant Editors are research subject matter experts - individuals with research experience in a particular field of study who are dedicated handlers of manuscripts, shepherding a submission through all of the peer‑review and post‑acceptance processes, where subject expertise are required or highly advantageous (including but not limited to manuscript triage and first/final decisions, reviewer selection, evaluation of a response to reviewer remarks or rebuttal letter, evaluation of referee reports, evaluation of images or assessment of scope alignment, etc.) ahead of export to production.
About The Role
Assistant Editors are entry‑level with limited prior experience as a handling editor; they almost certainly have experience as an author, reviewer, and potentially as a guest editor or junior member of an editorial board, but are unlikely to have experience handling manuscripts through peer review.
