- Description
- Editorial service is a privilege in many senses: editors have a much broader view of disciplinary practices than most of their colleagues; they see work from more institutions; and are privy to manuscripts in all states of fitness for publication. The spectrum of practice is eye-opening, and editors are placed in a position of stewardship, and often mentorship, that inevitably focuses attention on quality assurance and ethics (Lawrence 2003; Bulger 2004; Grieger 2005; Graf et al. 2007). Recently, the Committee on Scholarly Publishing in South Africa, a body within the Academy of Science of South Africa (ASSAf), has drafted Guidelines for best practice in editorial discretion and peer review for South African scholarly journals to assist editors.
