In case of a poor showing publication date may be delayed by one or more issues you may be asked to broaden your topic... you may be asked to intensify your promotion... or your appointment will automatically be cancelled. In case of a good showing, you will be asked to remain with AEQ for the next issue. Any Feature Editor is eligible to apply for Sound Instruction Book Editor If you yourself wish to review any, please follow Manuscript Reviewing Guidelines. In case of a disagreement among reviewers, we will seek your input to break the tie. Copy Editor will schedule and determine the outcome of the issue. When asked, Feature Editor writes one page editorial, about 400-900 words. If there are three or more topics, than the two editors with the highest number of accepted submissions will write editorials. See Issue Index for some editorial examples. Often, your editorial, e.g., Spr 03 or article from your issue, e.g., Sum 03 is picked up by other publications like The Chronicle of Higher Education. Note: Editorial, Focus or any CFP as a whole or parts may be used by this journal with or without editor's name at a later date. Note: Feature Editor does not have to read all submitted manuscripts. Instead, a month before publication date, Issue Editor will be asked to write editorial: generic or a specific one. If the latter is chosen, we will send abstracts of accepted articles and/or selected/requested full text. Authors with submission queries ought to be directed to Submission Procedure page. Journal's administrative staff will carry all and any correspondence with reviewers and/or authors. Reviewers come from Editorial Staff and may select/read/evaluate any manuscript. It is not a responsibility of the Feature Editor to assign 2-3 peer reviewers. When needed, AEQ may invite a subject specialist outside journal staff. In case of a disagreement among reviewers, we will seek Feature Editor's input. Sometimes Feature Editor may be asked to soften and restate the substance of reviews that are unnecessarily harsh in tone. Feature Editors do not have a control over who the 2-3 reviewers might be, and have no knowledge who the authors are. So defined role preserves journal's double-blind-peer-reviewed process & assures article publication based on merit and not favor, bias, or personal preference. See manuscript acceptance rate. We welcome editors' input for Editors' Choice. Feature Editors have general knowledge of issues and trends in a specific subject; certainly it is not necessary to be known for high-quality research on a topic in order to be regarded as subject expert. All work is voluntary. No formal compensation is given. However, we do offer five incentive remuneration options. We reserve the right to terminate any staff appointment at any time for any reason specified in the policies, procedures, and guidelines of AEQ or as a result of operational requirements.
