Experience with multicenter trials, clinical audits, or quality systems is valued. Applicants should be comfortable making balanced decisions and mentoring reviewers. International perspectives strengthen board diversity and clinical relevance.

Onboarding and Training

New editors receive orientation on the editorial system, journal policies, and reviewer workflow. We provide templates for decision letters, checklists for ethical compliance, and guidance on managing revisions. Ongoing support is available from the editorial office for complex cases or time-sensitive decisions. Periodic briefings keep the board aligned on standards and policy updates.

If your availability varies during the year, let us know so assignments can be scheduled appropriately. Matching the right editor to each manuscript ensures timely decisions and a positive experience for authors. This flexibility helps maintain quality without overburdening board members.
