The Canadian Law Library Review (CLLR), the official journal of CALL/ACBD, is looking for an additional Feature Article Editor.
The Feature Article Editor will work in tandem with the current Feature Article Editor to solicit, review, peer-review (if needed), and copy edit feature article submissions to CLLR. The time commitment varies, with a maximum of 10–12 hours per issue (three issues per year).
Responsibilities include:
- Soliciting article submissions (posting to relevant listservs and forums, contacting people based on their research/conference presentations, reaching out to law schools and library schools for student submissions, etc.)
- Corresponding with authors (confirming receipt of articles, notifying authors of acceptance or rejection, etc.)
- Reviewing each accepted article (copy editing, recommending non-substantial changes to improve article quality, checking citations and sources, etc.)
- Peer reviewing articles if requested (locating peer reviewers, ensuring identifying information is removed from articles, managing the process, etc.)
- Submitting final drafts of articles to the CLLR Editor by the internal deadline
This is a perfect position for those early in their careers and more established professionals alike. Previous publishing experience isn't required; however, applicants should have strong writing, editing, and citation skills.
If you're interested in the role or just want to learn more, contact Nikki Tanner, CLLR Editor, at cllr.editors@callacbd.ca and/or Sara Klein, Feature Article Editor, at cllr.features@callacbd.ca by Wednesday, April 1.
