Editorial board

An editorial board is a group that advises or makes decisions about a publication’s content, standards, and editorial direction.

Peer review: A process in which experts evaluate scholarly work before publication. Journal boards often oversee peer review and use its assessments when deciding what to publish.
Academic journal: A periodical that publishes scholarly research and related academic work. Academic journals commonly use boards to guide scope, standards, and research evaluation.
Managing editor: An editor who coordinates a publication’s day-to-day editorial operations. Managing editors connect board-level decisions with the practical work of producing issues.
Publication ethics: Principles and practices governing integrity and responsibility in publishing. Board policies and oversight put publication ethics into practice.
Editorial advisory board: A group that offers advice to a publication without necessarily controlling its editorial decisions. Its advisory remit is narrower than boards empowered to make binding content decisions.
Editor-in-chief: The senior editor responsible for a publication’s editorial direction and decisions. This role commonly leads the board and coordinates its editorial decisions.
Newspaper: A publication that reports news and commentary, typically on a regular schedule. Newspaper boards may advise on coverage, editorial priorities, and public-facing commentary.
Academic editor: A scholar who evaluates submissions and guides editorial decisions for a scholarly publication. Academic editors often carry out the board’s review and selection responsibilities.
Research integrity: The honest and responsible conduct, reporting, and assessment of research. Journal boards influence how research misconduct and reliability concerns are handled.
Board of directors: A governing body responsible for an organization’s oversight and strategic direction. A publication’s editorial board focuses on content, unlike a corporate board’s broader governance.
