Writing an article is such a personal endeavour: a struggle with questions, structure and individual sentences. And when that struggle seems to be over and the article appears ready for sharing, it can be submitted to ScholarOne, a ‘journals workflow management software’ that EJIL and many other journals use. That hugely personal product is thus fed to a seemingly impersonal beast.
But ScholarOne is only the interface: behind that interface are, at EJIL, three terrific scholars who, through their intellectual and practical contributions, ensure that an article is shepherded through the editorial process. These scholars are EJIL’s Associate Editors, currently Dr Wanshu Cong, Dr Ana Luisa Bernardino and Dr Francisco Quintana, who joined the team in July 2021, March 2022 and August 2023, respectively.
