Editor Registration
Join the JGE editorial board and shape genetic engineering research publishing
Eligibility
Prospective editors should hold a doctoral degree and have an established publication record in genetic engineering or related fields. Candidates should demonstrate expertise in areas within JGE scope and have experience with peer review process.
- PhD or equivalent in molecular biology, genetics, or related field
- Active research program with recent publications
- Prior peer review experience as reviewer or author
- Commitment to timely, constructive manuscript evaluation
- No outstanding ethical concerns or conflicts of interest
Application Process
Submit a current CV with complete publication list, brief statement of research interests and expertise areas, and contact information for two references. Applications are reviewed by the editor-in-chief and senior editorial team. Initial appointments are for two years with opportunity for renewal.
Time Commitment: Associate editors typically handle 8-12 manuscripts annually, each requiring approximately 2-4 hours for evaluation, reviewer coordination, and decision preparation.
Selection Criteria
Applications are evaluated based on research expertise alignment with JGE scope, publication quality and recency, prior editorial or review experience, institutional standing, and geographic balance within the current board composition. We particularly welcome applications from researchers in underrepresented regions and emerging investigators who demonstrate exceptional research productivity in genetic engineering.
Successful candidates demonstrate commitment to fair, constructive evaluation and timely communication essential for maintaining author confidence in the peer review process.
