The process of editing comprises two-way communication. Perfect editing doesn’t happen when the author does research and finds the best-suited editor for his work. But it happens when the editor guides the author with guidelines for a perfect output. Let’s discuss the latter.
Editors working on academic journals have responsibilities towards the author regarding the content and it doesn’t involve only editing for spelling and grammar errors. There is much more involved than that. A professional editor focuses on journal submission editing by being responsible to the content author thereby providing him with a guideline that presents in detail the process and requirements. Depending on the professional level of the editor and the publisher, and on the document type and style that requires editing, there are several roles and responsibilities on both that at times overlap, and are mostly borne by the editor.
Editor’s responsibilities towards the author
• Providing guidelines to authors for preparing and submitting manuscripts
• Providing a clear statement of the journal’s policies on authorship criteria
• Treating all authors with fairness, courtesy, objectivity, honesty, and transparency
• Establishing and defining policies on conflicts of interest for all involved in the publication process, including editors, staff (e.g., editorial and sales), authors, and reviewers
• Protecting the confidentiality of every author’s work
• Establishing a system for effective and rapid peer review
• Making editorial decisions at a reasonable speed and communicating with them in a clear and constructive manner
• Being vigilant in avoiding the possibility of editors or referees delaying a manuscript for suspect reasons
• Establishing clear guidelines for authors regarding acceptable practices for sharing experimental materials and information, particularly those required to replicate the research, before and after publication
• Establishing a procedure for reconsidering editorial decisions
• Describing, implementing, and regularly reviewing policies for handling ethical issues and allegations or findings of misconduct by authors and anyone involved in the peer review process
• Informing authors of solicited manuscripts that the submission will be evaluated according to the journal’s standard procedures or outlining the decision-making process if it differs from those procedures
• Developing mechanisms, in cooperation with the publisher, to ensure timely publication of accepted manuscripts
• Clearly communicating all other editorial policies and standards
