JFS Editorial Board

CRFSFS Editorial Board

The Editor in Chief of the journal will review your application and CV. New Editorial Board Members at Large are appointed based on the journal’s expertise needs and on your history of reviewing for the journal, with demographic considerations secondary. Appointments are typically made in late November or early December for terms starting on January 1^st of the next calendar year, but appointments are occasionally made as needed at any time.

We will keep your application on file for three (3) annual appointment cycles. It may take more than a year for an expertise gap in your area to open. We highly recommend accepting invitations to review and submitting thorough, constructive and critical comments on time to improve your chances of being appointed to the editorial board.
