The Journal of Integer Sequences
( https://cs.uwaterloo.ca/journals/JIS/ )
founded by Neil Sloane, is seeking some additional editors to help with
the large volume of submissions.
Why you should become an editor:
-- you get to read interesting papers before they appear
-- you provide a valuable service to the mathematical community
-- you get to improve papers by suggesting changes, additional
citations to the literature, and so forth
-- you get some stimulus for your own mathematical investigations
-- you get a little status by adding yet another editorial board to your CV
-- you indirectly support the OEIS
Members of the editorial board typically handle no more than 6 papers
per year. Handling a paper involves skimming the paper, deciding if
it's worth refereeing, choosing referees, obtaining reports from the
referees, reading the reports, and making a recommendation to the
Editor-in-chief (me).
If you are interested in becoming a member of the editorial board, and
if you are current or emeritus faculty in a mathematical area at a
university, please send me your name and any additional information you
think might be helpful. I am particularly interested in having some
women editors and some more editors outside North America.
Regards,
Jeffrey Shallit
