Abstract

Selection of a new editor for a journal is (or at least it should be) a significant undertaking in time and effort, for it will have long-lasting effects. Editors are gatekeepers of knowledge. As such they affect the development of a field, as reflected in the articles their journals publish, and they also affect the development of individual professional careers. The tone of the letters the editor writes to authors may instill feelings of hope, anger, self-confidence, despair, or a variety of other reactions. In all cases, the editor is the face that represents the journal to the outside world. Hence, the decision to select a new editor should not be taken lightly.
