Join the RSJ Team--Call for Copyeditors
The RSJ is looking to recruit some new copyeditors!
Copyeditors are responsible for ensuring that all submissions assigned to them adhere to the journal’s styleguide, both in terms of references and textual conventions.
Copyeditors also check submissions for grammatical errors, unsound phrasing, and overall coherence, ensuring consistency, clarity, and conformity across the articles and book reviews published by the journal.
Many an embarrassing mistake has been spotted by an eagle-eyed copyeditor, and this important role is central to upholding the RSJ’s high quality.
Copyeditors work closely with, and are supported by, the Chief Copyeditor, Aidan Norrie. Aidan is more than willing to field questions about the role, and takes great pride in supporting the volunteers who keep this central part of the production cycle ticking over.
If you are interested in joining the RSJ team or would like more information about being a copyeditor, contact us via the website or email editor.rsj@winchester.ac.uk.
