Editorial Officer (OLH) at Birkbeck, University of London

"This post arises as part of the Open Library of Humanities (OLH) project at Birkbeck. The OLH is a world-leading open access academic publisher of journal articles in the humanities. The OLH publishing platform supports academic journals from across the humanities disciplines, as well as hosting its own multidisciplinary journal. Launched as an international network of scholars, librarians, programmers and publishers in 2013, the OLH has received two substantial grants from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation to date, and has built a sustainable business model with its partner libraries.

The post-holder’s main role will be to oversee the editorial processes at the journals published by the Open Library of Humanities (OLH). This will include the organisation of peer review for articles in the OLH Journal, as well as conducting copyediting and proofreading of articles in this journal. More broadly the role involves liaising with journal editors and answering queries about editorial and production matters for the OLH journals. The role will also require contact with external suppliers for typesetting and production services."
