Three journal editors for Series A, Series B and Series C will be finishing their terms of office at the end of 2022.
Nominations for their successors are encouraged and welcomed from members of the Society.
Although the editors’ work is mainly concerned with the assessment of manuscripts for publication in the journal in collaboration with their editorial panels, joint editors of the journal series are also involved in the ongoing formulation and review of policy with the publishers (Wiley) and the Publications Network of Advisors.
The editorships of the Society’s journals are important and prestigious positions but they are also demanding and time consuming. The people who undertake them perform an invaluable service for the Society.
The normal term of office for the editors of Series A and Series C is four years; there are three editors of Series B, who each serve a three year term.
