The Macrotheme Review

Description:Facilitate the review process for papers submitted directly to the Journal.

Specific duties:Papers submitted directly to the Journal are first evaluated by the Editorial Staff. Papers considered appropriate for the Journal are forwarded to one of the Associate Editors. The Associate Editor has the authority to make the decision (in some cases) to either Reject or Accept the paper. In most cases, we recommend that the Associate Editor forwards the paper to the reviewer(s) suggested by the author and/ or the independently selected reviewer(s). The Associate Editor has the authority to make the final decision based on the recommendations by reviewer(s). Alternatively, the Associate Editor can simply forward the reviewer(s)’ recommendations to the Editorial Office. 

The Associate Editor(s) also have an Advisory role and can actively participate in strategic planning with respect to Journal indexing goals, impact factor and journal evaluation, conference planning, and other. 

The position of the Associate Editor is very flexible with time involvement, but the minimum requirement is to facilitate at least 1 journal submission in a 2 year period.

Direct benefits: The Associate Editors that choose to be heavily involved can be invited to the Journal sponsored conferences with some or all expenses covered, plus the appropriate stipend.
