Stockholm University Press would like to formalise the editorial structures for quality assessments, in order to create transparency for authors, editors and other stakeholders. Please use this word file to elaborate on the group structure and aim, and send the completed form of your proposal via e-mail to .
Be as specific as you can. The details provided in this form will serve as a basis for the presentation to the Publishing Committee, in order to officially approve of the group and as a foundation for a more formal agreement to publish books with Stockholm University Presss.
Submissions for Editorial Boards should be acknowledgedby the Board of one of the Departmentsat Stockholm University and the selected Chairperson should preferably be permanently employed at a Department at Stockholm University.
The main work principles of forming an Editorial Board is:
- Striving to meet the needs of the readership as well as the authors
- Aiming to constantly improve the quality of the material sent for evaluation
- Using a quality-assured process to reach and maintain this aim
- Championing the freedom of expression
- Maintaining the integrity of the academic record
- Ensuring that the intellectual and ethical standards are precluding any business or institutional needs
- Having a policy in place to deal with corrections, retractions, clarifications, and apologies related to published material, when needed
- Working closely with the Publisher to develop guidelines, best practices and tools to maintain and nurture the above-mentioned processes
- Clearly stating the aims and scope of the editorial board to readers and authors to guide them before and during the review process

Editorial Board Members
Board members are expected to suggest reviewers and assess the content of new book proposals as well as full book manuscripts as appropriate. They will not need to be experts within the specific subject of each unique book, but will of course need a general knowledge of the academic discipline The size of the board is dependent on the volume of proposals under consideration as well as the subjects being covered. We do however recommend that no less than three members and not more than ten members are involved in the editing and decision processes. The board should reflect the scope of the subject area in their members’ specializations
- List full names, titles, affiliation, university, country & e-mail address of all members. These members should be invited, and should preferably have said yes to all the recommendations suggested above.
