BECOME AN HPHR EDITOR

Why Join the HPHR Editorial Board?

Want to ramp up your academic publishing career? Consider joining the editorial team of the HPHR Journal (formerly the Harvard Public Health Review) and our weekly newsletter!

 

There are several editorial opportunities: 

 

  • ASSOCIATE EDITORS: are required to edit 4 manuscripts and review 4 manuscripts each semester (September-December; January-May; June-August). There are no set number of hours expected each week or month.

    Editing consists of reviewing a manuscript, determining if it is appropriate for the Journal, and sending it to at least 2 reviewers for a deeper evaluation of its language, content, and scholarly contribution. Once reviews are received, associate editors determine if the article should be accepted, rejected, or revised. 

 

  • MANAGING EDITORS: devote about 1-5 hours per week, depending on the current workload of manuscripts requiring: a check for journal guideline compliance, maintenance of the peer review process within our publishing platform, and copy-editing of accepted manuscripts.

 

  • DEPUTY EDITORS: design and lead special editions, which typically involves inviting author submissions, creating promotional material, and organizing accepted submissions within editions.
