Academic Rules allow two earned credit hours for the work undertaken by student editors of the CJHR. Editors will be required to read submissions and to attend regularly scheduled board meetings, to complete all assigned editing work in a timely manner during the year, and to participate in other CJHR business as it arises.
Editors play a very important role in ensuring the quality of our publication both by taking part in the editing of articles accepted for publication and editing the texts that are accepted for publication. Editors work with and mentor two or more Junior Editors in carrying out editorial tasks.
The responsibilities of the Editors lie in three main areas: (a) attending weekly Board meetings; (b) editorial tasks (text, citations, etc); (c) supervision of assistant editors.
