Call for Editors

The JVWR (Journal of Virtual Worlds Research) is looking for a *Prime
Editor* and optional 1-3 *co-editors* (you can join as a group) to *lead a
special issue* due for publication 2018Q4.

Issue editors take full charge of one issue. They craft the call (CfP =
Call for Papers), share it, solicit the papers, manage the review process,
supervise the final publications, and distribute the news about the release
– all using our internal state of the art publishing process.

If you have an interest and background in a specific Virtual World
sub-field, as well as experience in academic editing, please send us your
suggestion for a topical issue.

You will:

   - Develop a detailed call.
   - Review and decide on abstracts and full papers.
   - Coordinate with reviewers.
   - Use our publication system -- extensively (be also versed with Google
   docs, Skype, Zoom, and other current tools.)
   - Be a deadline-targeted & taking-charge person.
   - Work as a single editor or add one or more co-editors.
   - Able to write a short intro including your view/vision/insight on the
   field.
   - Get the academic credit as an editor.
