Editorial work

We differentiate between two different ways in which you can do editorial work:

You are house editor of a journal and edit the journal on an ongoing basis. You register this work as an activity.
You edit a single issue of a journal/proceeding/book series, for example a special issue or thematic issue. You register this contribution as an anthology.

Editing as activity

If you are house editor for a journal, book series etc. and edit the published issues of the journal regularily, this work is to be registrered as an activity. There is a special template for this purpose.

Hierarchy of templates with end node Editor of journal marked.

Activity information

Under "Activity information" you have to select a type of editorial work. This could be the journal that you are editor for. You also have the option to select a publisher or event where you work as editor. An event could e.g. be a conference or a campaign. You can only select one of the three types. If you change the type, the information under your first choice is deleted.

Description

Make a short description of the editorial work. If you have registered editorial work of a special issue of a journal as an activity, you can add volumen, issue and titel in the description field.
