We would like to extend a warm welcome to the newest members of the eLife editorial team. They bring strong expertise in each of their areas and will help us maintain the efficient and constructive editorial process that eLife is known for.
We are welcoming new members to both our Senior Editorial team and the Board of Reviewing Editors (BRE). eLife’s Senior editors have responsibility to determine whether initial submissions should be sent for peer review, typically in consultation with members of the BRE, and for those selected for review they assign papers to an appropriate BRE member. The BRE members review articles, along with additional reviewers as needed. What sets the eLife editorial process apart from conventional journals is that the BRE members and reviewers consult with one another before a final decision is made and send a consolidated set of comments to the author. Learn all about the eLife editorial process on our website.
