Editorial team

Editorial team page

The Editorial team interface allows you to create and manage the groups displayed on your journal's Editorial team page. It is accessed from the Manager dashboard, under Content.

On this page you can:

  • Add and delete editorial groups.
  • Edit groups' details and manage members.
  • Configure the display name for the editorial team page.
  • Configure settings related to the display of editorial groups.

There is no limit on the number of editorial groups you can create or how many members they can contain.

Adding someone to an editorial group does not assign them the editor role and it does not affect the permissions given to a user. Editorial groups are used for display purposes only.

Creating a new group

Creating a new group section

Creating a new group allows you to add members and display them on the Editorial Team page. Each group is headed by the group name you supply.

  • Name
    The group name, e.g. "Editorial team" or "Advisors".

  • Description
    Displayed under the group name on the editorial team page. This field supports rich text and can be used to add additional information about the group.

  • Sequence
    Controls the order in which groups appear on the page. You can reorder the groups by editing their sequence number or by dragging and dropping them in the list.

To edit an existing group, click the Manage group members button.

The Editorial Team edit page.

On the left-hand side, you will see a list of current group members. From here you can:

  • Remove a member from the group.
  • Reorder members using drag and drop.

To add someone to an editorial team, they need to have a Janeway account. A list of available journal users will be visible on the right-hand side of the page. You can search this list and use the Add button to include a user in the group.

If someone does not have an account yet, you can either invite them to create an account or create one on their behalf by clicking Add new user.

If you are setting up a group where multiple users do not have accounts yet, you may wish to use the editorial team import process instead. This process allows you to create editorial groups where the members do not yet have accounts.

Alternatively, if you do not want to create a Janeway account for every individual, you can list names directly in the Group description box. This field supports HTML and uses a rich-text editor, so you ccould list the editors using formatted text (for example, a bulleted list).
