Description

Associate Editors play a key role in helping GSA Bulletin and Geosphere Science Editors make decisions on submitted manuscripts by guiding these papers through the review process. Associate Editors invite reviewers, summarize reviewers’ findings, and make a recommendation to the Science Editor based on those reviews and their own evaluation of a manuscript. Volunteering as an Associate Editor has allowed you to assist with peer review, provide expert consultations, gain editorial experience, and serve the scientific community.
