Writing an article is such a private endeavour: a wrestle with questions, construction and particular person sentences. And when that wrestle appears to be over and the article seems prepared for sharing, it may be submitted to ScholarOne, a ‘journals workflow administration software program’ that EJIL and plenty of different journals use. That vastly private product is thus fed to a seemingly impersonal beast.
However ScholarOne is barely the interface: behind that interface are, at EJIL, three terrific students who, via their mental and sensible contributions, be sure that an article is shepherded via the editorial course of. These students are EJIL’s Affiliate Editors, presently Dr Wanshu Cong, Dr Ana Luisa Bernardino and Dr Francisco Quintana, who joined the group in July 2021, March 2022 and August 2023, respectively.
