Re: [WikiJournal-en] Hired editor?

I believe that the job duties must be very specific about coordinating number of articles per journal, and contacting the peer reviewers in a consistent fashion when there are articles to be reviewed. I have still not received any notifications of articles to review for WikiJournal of the Humanities--is it because there have not been any or simply because no one is coordinating?

Hi all WikiJournal participants, Because of an increased burden in the stage of finding and inviting peer reviewers for submissions, we've been discussing at WikiJMed about including funds in our next grant application to Wikimedia for hiring a paid editor to help out in this task. It would be unfair to have it for only WikiJMed so I take it up with all of us, also since WikiJSci currently lacks a willing peer review coordinators <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikiversity.org%2Fwiki%2FWikiJournal_of_Science%2FAssociate_editors%23Coordinator&data=02%7C01%7Ckasmith%40cpp.edu%7C039851d7b89e445c610f08d5c0ebb4e8%7C164ba61e39ec4f5d89ffaa1f00a521b4%7C0%7C1%7C636627040960905874&sdata=Y3yYnpRBb2huu5h6PFVnoOQIfnbAHaoBXst41vj3Nyk%3D&reserved=0> for the 2 most recent submissions <https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fen.wikiversity.org%2Fwiki%2FWikiJournal_of_Science%2FPotential_upcoming_articles&data=02%7C01%7Ckasmith%40cpp.edu%7C039851d7b89e445c610f08d5c0ebb4e8%7C164ba61e39ec4f5d89ffaa1f00a521b4%7C0%7C1%7C636627040960905874&sdata=eEnaPdm9g%2Fo2QPxNigXioyBYsAVuawGR75d%2FooqUuLM%3D&reserved=0>. A paid editor could look up potential peer reviewers and either invite them directly, or prepare an email list with links to their credentials to board members. A paid editor would be able to help in many tedious tasks, including to (citing Thomas' entry at WikiJMed): - send followup emails at certain dates - track submissions - copyediting (for a wikijournal this could be things like image formatting, finding who images should be attributed to, checking ref formatting) - formatting the final pdf upon acceptance - managing the doi submission to crossref upon acceptance - If having bot-experience, program bots for technical tasks such as to keep the {{article_info}} template synchronised between main page and subpage and add accepted articles to the relevant issue page These tasks would not involve direct knowledge of the subject material. The idea would be to have them handle those elements to free up time for the medical/academic editors to focus on specialist tasks. What do you think for WikiJSci and WikiJHum?
