How do I become an editor of a journal?

Editors on Scholastica can be granted access to manuscripts submitted to a journal. Depending on the permissions set by the admin editor, editors may invite reviewers to manuscripts and/or draft and issue publication decisions. Note: by default, new editors do not have access to all manuscripts — the admin must configure their manuscript access level.

To become an editor, you must be invited by the journal's administrator. When you're invited to become an editor of a journal on Scholastica, you'll get an email from the journal.
