Interested in joining the editorial team?

Qualified researchers may express interest in future editor or editorial-board roles.

Send a current CV, ORCID iD, affiliation, and principal subject areas to editorial@delvierre.com. Expressions of interest are reviewed against journal needs, relevant expertise, conflicts of interest, and the responsibilities of the proposed role; submission does not guarantee appointment.

Recommended editorial workflow

Confirm that the manuscript fits the journal’s scope and meets basic policy requirements.

Review metadata, declarations, uploaded files, and corresponding-author details before reviewer invitation.

Select appropriate reviewers, monitor turnaround, and keep the review record clean and confidential.

Issue a decision that is evidence-based, constructive, and aligned with the reviewer record.

Before publication, confirm final metadata, author list, production files, and any DOI information.

What editors handle in the platform

Journal-bound submission handling for assigned journals, including first assessment, reviewer selection, review monitoring, and recommendations or decisions where assigned.

Reviewer invitation, response tracking, and replacement where needed.

Revision-round monitoring and final recommendations.

Private editor–publisher coordination through the internal workspace.

Article-level team assignment: a primary handling editor can work with supporting editors in a manuscript-specific team thread.

What remains administrator-only

Publisher settings, billing configuration, APC/payment policy, and institutional agreements.

Journal creation, deletion, title/slug, homepage, cover, author instructions, policy text, status, and live/maintenance controls.

Public editorial-board assignment, role display, and user administration across the full platform.

Publisher-wide production, Crossref/DOI metadata, compliance oversight, and public corrections to journal pages.

Editor-in-Chief access model

The Editor-in-Chief is the senior journal editor for editorial direction, manuscript oversight, reviewer quality, editorial-board recommendations, and journal-development advice.

The Editor-in-Chief does not directly edit public journal pages, APC settings, homepage files, author instructions, or public board assignments. Those are publisher/admin maintained.

Use workspace threads to send the publisher office recommendations about board composition, special issues, homepage changes, policy updates, or community outreach.

The Editor-in-Chief or managing editor can assign a handling editor and optional supporting editors for a manuscript. The primary handling editor should not also be selected as a supporting editor.

If the journal needs additional editors, the Editor-in-Chief records the recommendation in a workspace thread; the publisher/admin side creates the account and public board appointment.

Templates and editorial resources

The official Delvierre LaTeX package is linked from the author guide and submission preparation area; editors can point authors there when LaTeX is appropriate.

Use the platform guidance and the journal’s published author instructions together when screening a new submission.

Keep internal discussions in workspace threads instead of author-facing messages.

Opening a new journal with Delvierre Publisher

Prospective Editors-in-Chief or editorial teams who want to propose a new journal on the platform should contact support@delvierre.com. The proposal workflow can include a journal application form, scope statement, editorial experience summary, and operational review before approval.

Generative AI and image-integrity policy for editors

Do not upload confidential manuscripts, reviewer files, or editorial correspondence into public or third-party generative AI tools.

Do not use generative AI to make editorial decisions, score manuscripts, or replace expert judgment.

AI-assisted text polishing disclosed by authors may be acceptable when it is limited, verified, and transparent.

Reject or query AI-created or AI-altered images intended as figures, graphical abstracts, photographs, charts representing research data, medical/scientific images, or visual evidence unless the manuscript is explicitly about AI methods and the method is fully documented.

Record withdrawal requests and decisions in the platform so the author is notified and reviewer activity is stopped when a withdrawal is approved.

Lead fair, confidential, and well-documented editorial handling
