Editorial Team
JAF editors are selected by the AFS Executive Board through a proposal process. Editors-in-Chief serve for five years and are responsible for developing the JAF editorial team, including associate editors, editorial assistants, and special section and review editors, as well as the editorial board, which assists in creating a vision for the JAF.
AFS supports the part-time position of Managing Editor to support and complement the Editors’ leadership and provide continuity through editorial team transitions.
