Editors for themed issues
Published: July 9, 2018
The JVWR (Journal of Virtual Worlds Research) is looking for a Prime Editor and optional 1-3 co-editors (you can join as a group) to lead a special issue.
Issue editors take full charge of one issue. They craft the call (CfP = Call for Papers), share it, solicit the papers, manage the review process, supervise the final publications, and distribute the news about the release – all using our internal state of the art publishing process.
If you have an interest and background in a specific Virtual World sub-field, as well as experience in academic editing, please send us your suggestion for a topical issue.
You will:
- Develop a detailed call.
- Review and decide on abstracts and full papers.
- Coordinate with reviewers.
- Use our publication system — extensively (be also versed with Google docs, Skype, Zoom, and other current tools.)
- Be a deadline-targeted & taking-charge person.
- Work as a single editor or add one or more co-editors.
- Able to write a short intro including your view/vision/insight on the field.
- Get the academic credit as an editor.
