Editor-L

EDITOR-L, the electronic discussion group of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals, is maintained at DePaul University by Pete Vandenberg (pvandenb@depaul.edu).

Many participants find it to be a veritable wellhead of collective editorial wisdom, a place where issues of concern to editors may be explored, answers to queries found, and advice about the art of editing sought. Only serious discussion is encouraged, keeping traffic to what is worth reading.

POLICIES AND GUIDELINES FOR USE

The listserv is available to current members of CELJ by subscription only and welcomes open, frank discussion of any topic likely to be of interest and value to editors of scholarly journals. CELJ's officers do, however, urge all who participate in these discussions to temper frankness with civility and to be considerate about overburdening the listserv with messages that might be seen as "advertisements." In order to protect the relative privacy of these conversations, the officers also make the following request of any subscriber who wishes to share a potentially sensitive posting with someone outside the list: please contact the person who posted the original message beforehand, to make sure such sharing does not cause any difficulties.

Current members may subscribe to Editor-L by contacting the secretary/treasurer, Nicholas Birns, at birnsn@newschool.edu.

Subscribers can remove themselves from the list by sending an email with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject line to
editor-l-request@mailman.depaul.edu.

Additional membership controls (digest and vacation options, for example, as well as address updates) can be accessed at http://mailman.depaul.edu/mailman/options/editor-l.
