Journal Editor Toolkit

Welcome to our Editor Toolkit. These guidelines are aimed at helping enhance the workflows, processes and personal development of journal editors, of all levels of experience.

We have compiled these guidelines and resources from our own publications and those from trusted industry organisations.

If you have a specific question, post it on our Editor Forum to get a quick reply from EASE colleagues and industry experts.
