Overview
Citizendium welcomes applications for editorship to personnel@citizendium.org. There are three tracks in which experts may apply:
- The Academic Track
- The Professional Track
- The Equivilency Track
Three Tracks to Editorship
Academic Track
Editors applying through the Academic Track must hold the qualifications typically needed for a tenure-track academic position in their field. Pinnacle is they must hold a terminal degree in their academic field e.g., history, sociology, physics. This may demonstrated by:
- Sending a brief introductory letter, an attached or linked CV, and copies of academic transcripts.
- Sending a brief introductory letter and an attached or linked CV that includes links to reliable third-party sources that support claims.
Applicants must provide adequate evidence of claims. Official transcripts may be requested.
Professional Track
Editors applying through the Professional Track must hold a terminal professional degree in their field (e.g., engineering, performing arts, computers) and have a demonstrable record of significant work and at least some publishing experience.
This may demonstrated by:
- Sending a brief introductory letter and an attached or linked CV or resume that includes links to reliable third-party sources that support claims of work and publishing experience.
Applicants must provide adequate evidence of claims. Official transcripts may be requested.
Equivilency Track
The application procedure for editors is the same, except that (in Step 2) editor candidates should also send to personnel [at] citizendium.org two additional items: a CV or resume attached (or linked), as well as some links to Web material that tends to support the claims made in the CV, such as conference proceedings, or a departmental home page. Both additional requirements may be fulfilled by a CV that is hosted on an official work Web page.
Note: it is perfectly acceptable for an editor to get started as an author. To become an editor, then, a person could simply place links to a CV, and perhaps other supporting material, on his or her user page, and then send a link to that page to personnel [at] citizendium.org.
