A panel discussion with:
Dr. Joshua Weitz, Co-Chief Editor of the Journal of Theoretical Biology
Dr. Mark Lewis, Advising & Former Chief Editor for the Journal of Mathematical Biology and the Advising Editor for the Bulletin of Mathematical Biology
Dr. Jeremy Van Cleve, Editor in Chief of Theoretical Population Biology
The discussion will cover common topics in publishing scientific and mathematical papers as well as topics more specific publishing modeling and theory in population biology. Audience questions are encouraged. Potential discussion topics include:
- How does one become an editor at a journal?
- What are typical tasks for a journal editor?
- What is special about being an editor for journals covering mathematical modeling and population biology?
- How do editors decide which papers are a good fit for journals covering mathematical modeling and population biology?
- What kind of papers should papers go to a more biological or more mathematical journal?
- How are divergent reviews handled?
- What kind of impact is AI making on the publishing in theory and population biology?
