# JOSE Editorial Board Call 2022
# 
# Accepted:
Thank you for your interest in JOSE! You sound like a perfect fit for joining the Editorial Board, and we need help! (Two of our editors are out on paternity leave, and we were already rather short.)

I’d be happy to tell you more about JOSE, but to start: this is a purely grass-roots, volunteer-driven effort to offer a venue for innovators in education to receive publication credit for open learning objects or educational software they create. 

The key feature for successful submissions is that they fill some gap and are reusable to others. They should be openly licensed, and well put together for immediate adoption.

Your role as editor would be to scour the ’net for potential reviewers (we need two) for any submission assigned to you, and basically nudge, nudge, nudge, until done!

A hand-wavy estimate of time commitment is about 3 hours per week. Some weeks it might be a lot less, but ideally you would pop in to any review you are hardly on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to give things a push. The peak time is when a submission is just assigned to you and you have to find reviewers.

If you’re still keen, I’ll start the process of adding you, and thank you again!

# Delayed start:

Thank you for your interest in JOSE! We had a healthy response to our call for members of the board. And we really need the help! For the time being, I invite you to sign up as a reviewer, and experience the workflow in this role a couple of times. Here is the link to join JOSE as a reviewer: https://jose.theoj.org/reviewer-signup.html. 

We will be onboarding a handful of new editors who come with more experience, but we're sure to need more hands in short order.

Be sure to circle back after you've done a couple of reviews. 

# Reject:

Thank you for your interest in JOSE. We had a healthy response to our call for members of the board, with several having the right experience.
