Ken Lanfear (editor@awra.org), editor of JAWRA and one of the best journal editors I've ever known, sent me this item for posting.
AWRA Associate Editors (AE's) serve as primary advisors to the JAWRA Editor. Responsibilities fall into two areas: reviews and subject development. The Water Quality Monitoring position handles between 15 and 20 papers per year. All manuscripts are handled through our ScholarOne Manuscripts™ system, with the AE selecting reviewers and, when reviews return, making a recommendation to the Editor. AE’s are encouraged to seek out qualified authors in their subject areas and encourage them to submit papers to JAWRA. These could be individual submittals or as featured collections of related papers organized around an introduction.
The AE for Water Quality Monitoring sees a lot of interesting and sometimes controversial manuscripts. Departing Associate Editor Joe Delfino would like to help his replacement ease into the position. So, the new AE will get a real running
start on his or her responsibilities!
Associate editorship is a volunteer position earning our heartfelt thanks and an invitation to our annual AE luncheon. It also offers the opportunity to make a difference on the cutting edge of multidisciplinary water resources. The term of an AE is three years, but may be extended by mutual agreement.
Interested individuals should email the Editor at editor@awra.org. We are happy to answer any questions. We will hold this position open at a minimum until March 15, 2012, but early application is encouraged.
Give it some thought! You don't need to be a member of AWRA to serve as an Associate Editor. We just want the best, regardless of her/his afflliation.
