Every journal site includes an editorial board page that presents the people behind the journal: their names, role labels, and affiliations. A visible, current board is one of the strongest credibility signals a journal can offer.
What readers see
The board page lists members grouped with their roles, such as editor-in-chief, editors, and board members; role labels are set by the journal, so you can use the titles your field expects. Members who are on Scholardemia are linked to their researcher profiles, and people who are not on the platform are listed by name and affiliation.
Managing the board
- In the journal workspace, open People and then Public board to adjust editorial roles, reorder members, or remove a listing. Invite new members through Editorial team so they can accept their appointment and public listing.
- Each researcher manages their academic title, affiliation and country in their Scholardemia profile. Those details apply across every journal they serve on; journal managers cannot replace them with different values.
- Profile changes, including ORCID and Google Scholar links, appear automatically on linked board entries. Allow about a minute, then refresh the board page.
- The board can also appear as a block on other journal pages through the page builder; see Journal site themes & pages.
Keep it current. Readers and prospective authors check board pages when judging a journal. Ask researchers to keep their profiles current and remove departed board members promptly.
