JPAIR Institutional Editorial Board comprises internationally renowned academics in the journal's discipline. The editorial team chooses them and provides professional input on key policy and content issues. They also review submitted articles, solicit new authors and submissions, and promote the journal to the global academic community. The Editorial Team members improve and strengthen our publication's quality, integrity, reputation, and sustainability through their field of expertise and substantial work as scientists and researchers.

Recruiting board members

Editorial board members must be peers whose opinions are highly respected within the journal's primary discipline; otherwise, their judgments may not be taken seriously. 

Identifying potential candidates

Potential candidates may be contacted through referrals from other board members, authors or peer reviewers who have worked for your publication. Both citations and an H-Index are required. It is helpful to send invitation letters to prospective board members while recruiting them. Once approved, they will receive an appointment letter with a summary of the position, a list of the duties, and a statement that this is an unpaid volunteer position. It can be renewed based on how well it performs. For many journals, a three-year term of office is very typical. Keep a current list of the board members, including their specific areas of expertise, and make notes about their contributions to the process.

Typical roles and responsibilities of journal editors include: 

Editor-in-Chief: The senior editor who has overall responsibility for the journal. Endorses the journal.
