There is also CHASS? I notice they have previously suggested the inclusion of the Editor Role in their proposed 'Esteem Factors': <a href="http://www.chass.org.au/papers/PAP20090820HH.php">http://www.chass.org.au/papers/PAP20090820HH.php</a><br>
But as Mark has pointed out, this suggestion hasn't clearly hasn't cut it with HERDC. <br><br>Sarah<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 3:05 PM, Mark Gibson <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mark.gibson@monash.edu">mark.gibson@monash.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

But no, I’m certainly not aware of anything like that here. The only context in which we on Continuum get to meet other editors is in the annual Taylor and Francis journal editor’s roundtables. It’s always useful to compare notes with others and the T&F people are often quite interesting in their perspectives on the business, but it’s limited to T&F journals and certainly doesn’t have the sort of agenda we’re talking about.<br>

North America has a Council of Editors of Learned Journals (<a href="http://thecelj.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">http://thecelj.blogspot.com/</a>), does Australia have such a body? If not, can one be formed to make representations as those outlined by both Jon and Mark?<br>
