Editors Each scientific journal may have coeditors, who are volunteers from among the ESA membership. Editors are appointed by the ESA Governing Board, based on recommendations received from editorial boards. Editors must be ESA members. The governing board appoints editors for terms of five years. Editors are responsible for reviewing and accepting manuscripts submitted for publication and for recommending changes in editorial style and policies.
Editors are responsible to the editorial boards and receive modest honoraria.
All ESA publications are produced by the ESA publications staff, which is located in the ESA National Office. The publications staff is responsible for copyediting, proofreading, and coordinating the production of all ESA publications. The staff facilitates and administers the publications program under the specific direction of the director of publications and the general direction of the executive director.
