What does an associate editor actually do?

Published: 16 July 2013 Publication History

Abstract

What does a Associate Editor (AE) of a journal actually do? The answer may be far from obvious. This article describes the steps that one AE follows in handling a submission. The aim is to shed light on the process, for the benefit of authors, reviewers, and other AEs.
