EDITORIAL ADVISORY BOARD
Purpose:
The Public Philosophy Journal (PPJ) Editorial Advisory Board is appointed by the PPJ Editors. In collaboration with the Editors, Board members provide counsel and editorial leadership by helping to evaluate the quality of Journal content and to ensure that all features of the PPJ project reflect our mission to share, create, and publish scholarship by and for the public.
Duties:
ADVISING
The PPJ editorial team will occasionally consult Editorial Advisory Board members for support in strategic selection of Formative Peer Reviewers and Coordinators, as well as of Field Editors. Members also provide advice and guidance regarding ongoing issues related to the project, its mission, and direction. The editorial team has an open door policy and welcomes feedback from board members related to any aspect of the PPJ.
REVIEWING
Editorial Advisory Board members contribute to the quality of content published in the PPJ by agreeing to regularly participate in the PPJ’s Formative Peer Review Process. Board members serve reviewers for manuscripts in their fields of expertise at least twice per year. Because successful Formative Peer Review also depends on active Review Coordinators, board members serve as Formative Peer Review Coordinators.
HANDLING SPECIAL ISSUES
Special Issues enable the PPJ to focus on specific themes or topics of public relevance. The PPJ editorial team will consult with Editorial Advisory Board members for the approval and management of proposed Special Issues. The PPJ editorial team, Guest Editors external to the Editorial Advisory Board, or Board members themselves may propose Special Issues. When Board members propose a Special Issue, the PPJ editorial team may request that those members serve as Guest Editors for that Special Issue.
ADVOCATING FOR THE JOURNAL AND COMMUNITY-BUILDING
In order to provide essential support for the PPJ’s mission, the Editorial Advisory Board members work to cultivate connections between the PPJ community and other communities of which they are a part. We encourage members to promote the PPJ as a platform that provides students, colleagues, and fellow advocates with opportunities to publish in the journal.
Such efforts of our team may include discussing the PPJ at scholarly conferences and meetings and with publicly-engaged activists and organizations, as well as promoting the PPJ on social media platforms.
