Jaye has completed her successful term as editor, we now seek nominations for
the position of General Editor (March 2020- March 2023). Applicants do not need
to be based in Otago University.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" class="">The job requires the editor to produce two
journal issues per year, with around 6 – 8 articles per issue although one of
these may be a special issue of the journal under a guest editor. The editor’s
position is honorary (ie unpaid service) but the editor is assisted in this
task by paid copy editors, a paid secretary to the board, the honorary
editorial board and Les O’Neil the paid layout editor.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" class="">The editor is responsible for ensuring
overall suitability of published articles in line with the journal’s aims, and
quality control of the process to publication including the double-blind peer
reviewing of articles, copyediting and the timely production of issues for the
June and December deadlines for publication.
The editor is also expected to attend 3 editorial board meetings per
year which can be by video conferencing or in person. Issues for publication in
2020 are already in preparation and are currently being supervised by the Chair
of the Editorial Board until an appointment is made.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" class="">At the end of the term, this position also
includes a two-month period of handover of information and support to an
incoming editor during Feb - March of 2023.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" class="">Both self-nominations and peer nominations
are accepted.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" class="">Previous experience in editing a special
issue of the journal would be advantageous but is not essential. Support with
editing software on the Open Journal software system will be provided by Otago
IT services and current board members who have previously served as editors.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" class="">Closing date for nominations is 16<sup class="">th</sup>
March 2020. Please nominate by sending
an email to the secretary of the Sites Editorial Board (<a href="mailto:molly.mccormick@otago.ac.nz" class="">molly.mccormick@otago.ac.nz</a>)
addressed to the Chair of the Editorial Board Prof. Ruth Fitzgerald (<a href="mailto:ruth.fitzgerald@otago.ac.nz" class="">ruth.fitzgerald@otago.ac.nz</a>).
Along with this nomination please also attach a truncated CV which details
relevant experience ie editing for the position.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-AU" class="">The process for selection of the incoming
editor will be through a Board Meeting vote in the case of multiple nominees
for the position and through a Board Meeting vote of confidence if there is
only one nominee which could be handled by email only. (Nominees who are also
board members will be recused from such a meeting)</span> </p><p class="MsoNormal"><b class=""><span lang="EN-AU" class="">General
