Editorial board
Editorial inquiries
Perspectives submissions, editorial-board recruitment, peer-review pairings, translation-committee proposals. The address routes to the editorial board.
The editorial address is the single point of contact for the board's editorial work. Write to [email protected].
What this address is for
- Perspectives submissions. Long-form opinion or editorial pieces for the Perspectives stream. Submit a brief pitch first — three paragraphs naming the argument, the audience, and your standing to make it. Word count typically 1,500 to 3,000.
- Editorial-board recruitment. Inquiries about joining the editorial board, either as a board member or as an associate editor with portfolio responsibility for a track of the dictionary.
- Peer-review pairings. Requests for peer-review on a candidate dictionary entry, an external manuscript referencing the dictionary, or a publisher's draft policy document.
- Translation-committee proposals. Proposals to convene a new language committee. The route is documented at /get-involved/translate; the formal request lands here.
- General volunteering. Where you want to contribute but are not sure which track fits. The board matches you to a working group, a documentation lead, or a translation committee as appropriate. See /get-involved/volunteer.
- Case-study submissions. Implementation case studies for /resources/case-studies — outline first, full draft after editorial review of the outline.
What we follow editorially
The editorial pattern aligns with the recommendations on editorial responsibility documented by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors and the joint stewardship statement governing the CASRAI assets, available from NISO. Contributorship is recorded under CRediT on every editorial output.
