On March 19, we will have the pleasure of welcoming Nina Meinzer, Editor-in-Chief of Nature Reviews Physics, who will discuss current editorial practices. Her presentation will take place at 4:30pm in the Painlevé amphitheater at École Polytechnique.
To many researchers the editorial process at scientific journals is a black box that converts submitted manuscripts into published papers.
In her presentation, Nina Meinzer will give a ‘behind-the-scenes’ tour of the editorial process and provide some insight into our decision-making process. She will also discuss different content types and how they can help to reach a broad audience.
