How May I Help You? Editing as Service

Abstract

A reductionist view of the role of an editor would be that it is but a series of service transactions—receive a manuscript, assign reviewers, read the manuscript, read the reviews, write a decision letter, pick up the next one and repeat the process. Lest the reader be horrified that as an editor I have viewed my decision letters as no more than hamburgers at a fast food drive-through (and you are probably grumbling about applying the word “fast” to editorial decisions), let me elaborate on why applying a service lens to the editor’s role is appropriate and useful.
