Nominations are open for a successor to Professor Steffen Lauritzen as Joint Editor of Series B of the Society's journal when his term of office finishes at the end of December 2023.
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.
From 2021, Series B has had three Joint Editors, serving three-year terms. The editors' main role is concerned with the technical assessment of material submitted to the series, in collaboration with their panels of Associate Editors. In addition, Joint Editors collaborate closely with the Society’s Journals Manager and publishers Oxford University Press (OUP).
Editors also take an active role with the ongoing formulation and review of publication policy via the Society's Publications Network of Advisors and the publishers, with whom meetings take place in the autumn and/or the spring at the Society's offices (when possible).
Series B Editors as ex officio members of the Research Section Committee are also involved in assessing the suitability of papers for presentation to the Society at its discussion paper meetings and their subsequent publication with an account of the discussion.
