Crossref proposes the creation of some form of Registry of Editorial Boards to develop best practice around editorial boards' information and governance that can be used by the scientific community.
This new service can provide greater transparency and automation of the editorial process, connect content platforms (e.g. peer review management systems, publisher websites, ORCID and other author registration systems, ROR, bibliographic databases, etc.) and make available information about the editorial boards, including metadata about the full affiliations of the editorial boards.
Crossref announces the significant benefits of such a system for various stakeholders in the scholarly communication community: from publishers, researchers, institutions, sponsors to bibliometricians and librarians.
For more details, please follow the link.
In order to better understand the needs of the community, the willingness to participate and contribute to registering and maintaining the details of the editorial boards, it is proposed to complete this short survey by March 31, 2022.
