Activity: Publication peer-review and editorial work types › Editorial activity
Description of Activity
Editor. I worked to encouraged submissions, select content, plan themed editions, edit essays, offer editorial advice and proof-read final versions. This included liaising with the publisher on issue proofs and dates. An important part of the work is assisting younger and independent historians bring their work to publication standard. In so doing, this brings new and innovative historical research to a greater audience and helps early-career academics to build their publication profile. My additional role as peer-review editor involved responsibility for finding, and liaising with, external academic reviewers for each article once it has been internally edited and approved.
