The role of the Editor-in-Chief is, in collaboration with the UniServe Science office, to facilitate the production of CAL-laborate International by:

• establishing a timeline for the production of each issue of CAL-laborate International ;
• issuing a call for papers through the Regional Editors and Discipline Editors;
• liaising with the Reviews Editor to identify material for review;
  coordinating the distribution of papers for refereeing;
• ratifying the recommendations made on any paper submitted for review and publishing; and
• determining when sufficient material is available for a printed issue of CAL-laborate International.

Discipline Editors

The role of the Discipline Editors will be to co-ordinate the review process for a particular article. They will identify at least two reviewers for the article (one of whom may be themself), distribute a copy of the article, the reviewer's response form and instructions to each reviewer.

Once the reviews are completed, the Discipline Editor will collate the general comments onto a summary form and combine the suggested ammendments made to the electronic manuscript. The Disicipline Editor will then make a recommendation on the suitability of the article on the basis of these reviews and email the completed summary form and ammended script to the Editor-in-Chief.
