Since last September, 74 scientists working across all major areas of research considered for publication at eLife have joined as members of our Board of Reviewing Editors (BRE). Reviewing Editors are responsible for handling papers assigned to them by eLife Senior Editors (who are also working scientists), overseeing the online consultation among referees, and delivering clear, consolidated feedback to authors.
The new editors add experience across all major subject areas at eLife, including Biochemistry and Chemical Biology, Cancer Biology, Cell Biology, Chromosomes and Gene Expression, Immunology and Inflammation, Neuroscience, Structural Biology and Molecular Biophysics, Developmental Biology, Human Biology and Medicine, Stem Cells and Regenerative Medicine, Microbiology and Infectious Disease, Genetics and Genomics, Computational and Systems Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Ecology, Epidemiology and Global Health, Physics of Living Systems, and Plant Biology.
“As an author, I have found the review process at eLife to be refreshingly fair and transparent. I am very happy to take on the responsibility of serving as a Reviewing Editor. I look forward to working with authors and reviewers to make reporting on exciting science less onerous and more efficient.”
– William C. Hahn, Chief Research Strategy Officer, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute

"I believe that the best way to change the academic publishing system is by actively contributing to that change, and for me being part of the eLife editorial board is a great way to do exactly that. I really appreciate the push for open access and a more transparent review process. Content-wise, I hope to strengthen the board’s expertise on the topics of brain oscillations, MEG and electrophysiology."
