MERLOT Editors Council

The Editors Council is comprised of all of the Editors of the Discipline Editorial Boards and provides the leadership for the Editorial Boards.  Some of the Editorial Boards have two Editors, so there are more Editors than Editorial Boards.  The Editors’ Council meets face-to-face twice annually and also meets through teleconferences every month.  The Editors’ Council has several functions including determining policies related to Editorial Boards, management of discipline Editorial Board activities, setting the direction for the Peer Review process, selecting the Editors’ Choice Award winners, and representing MERLOT within their disciplines.  Editors are appointed to their positions by MERLOT Partners.
