We are expanding our Associate Editor team

Due to the continued growth of Trials, we are now recruiting new Associate Editors to join our international Editorial Board.  An Associate Editor is responsible for assessing manuscripts for their suitability for peer review, selecting reviewers who meet the journal’s requirements and recommending decisions on the basis of the peer reviewers’ reports and their own assessment while adhering to the journal’s editorial policies.

An Associate Editor for Trials is someone who:

  • Supports the Aims and Scope of Trials.
  • Has training and experience in trial methods.
  • Has an interest in research on improving clinical trial design, conduct or reporting.

  • Is willing to handle a minimum of 2 new manuscripts per month within their field of expertise.
  • Is committed to open access, data sharing and innovation in scientific publishing.

All new Associate Editors will receive online training, and our in-house Editorial Office provides ongoing administrative support.
