The editorial team of EJVES will evolve in 2025 and January 2026 and we are advertising for a Section editor for a broad portfolio across all sections with the opportunity to develop specific expertise to support the wider editorial team.
This section editor is responsible supporting the busiest sections of the journal (aorta, PAD, systematic reviews, meta-analyses and short communications). There will be an opportunity to work and develop editorial skills with other section editors, with the hope that in time the successful applicant will be able to take on one of these sections in which they have particular expertise.
The successful applicant will also manage other research papers within their area of expertise, in collaboration with the relevant section editor. Thus allowing the editor to further develop their editorial skills for future assignments.
The term of office is three years, which can be renewed twice. Changes within the section editors posts may take place after discussion with the senior editors, and is not subject to external application. Thus, it is quite possible that these section editors will later become responsible for another section in the journal.
An honorarium is linked to this position.
About the Application process
The EJVES works with a professional career path in scientific publishing within the field vascular surgery: i.e. Reviewers, Editorial Board (EB) members, and finally Editors. We do invite scholars to review papers, and this peer review system is the key to success for any scientific journal. In November each year the Editorial Board (EB) is renewed, based on the performance of the reviewers the last 12 and 24 months. Every single review is scored between 1-100, depending on its quality. To qualify to be invited to become a member of the EB, she/he must have performed at least 10 reviews the last year, with a mean score >70. Furthermore, 2/3 of the invitations must have been accepted, and 80% the reports must have been submitted within the time limit (normally 3 weeks).
Thus, when selecting new editors the members of the EB are those we normally consider, and we send a special invitation to all EB members of the EJVES. It is possible, however, that persons may have worked with other journals, or have other academic experiences, that make them suitable to become an editor of this journal. We will consider all applications.
The application should be submitted by 28th March, 2025 at the latest by completing the form below.
