There are many different editorial roles at ISCI Publishing. Many professional editors work on our books in-house (such as on the Nature titles), and we also work with many Editors-in-Chief, Editorial Board Members, Section Editors and Handling Editors based at academic institutions. This guide is intended for those external editors.
External Editors
Our external editors play a key part in helping us to advance discovery, from working with us to build a network of authors and peer reviewers, to helping authors improve their papers, advocating for our journals, and sometimes dealing with legal or research integrity issues.
Ultimately they help safeguard the scientific accuracy of the published record and ensure that our authors’ work commands the highest level of trust. We value the hard work and dedication our expert editors put into this important and rewarding role, and we are committed to working together and providing as much support and guidance as we can.
