It still requires Editorials to be written, papers to push through the review process, comments to return (sensitively!) to authors, proofs to correct and all so that the journal is published broadly on time, four times a year. People have nothing but positive comments about the journal and kind words for those us who do the work to get it published. I am really no more than the person who steers the ship and I hope I steer it on a straight course and by rightfully acknowledging those that do the majority of the work. It takes considerable time but it is a team effort and I rely heavily on my Assistant Editor, Regional Editors, Special Issue Editors, the Editorial Board, the terrific team at Maney Publications and also Reviewers who do vital work in ensuring both the quality and timeliness of the publication. It has been an immense privilege to edit the premier international journal on cartography and one that I continue to enjoy as we head into the BCS and Journal’s 50th Anniversary year in 2013. I have been Editor since 2006 and overseen more than a quarter of the issues published since 1964 (largely due to increased frequency of publication). Over the past few months I’ve experienced both the best and the worst of being involved with two cartography journals so here’s a story and some advice for those thinking of getting involved on the Editorial side of things.Īs most readers will know, I am the current Editor of The Cartographic Journal, the official journal of the British Cartographic Society.
