  • Serve as a proxy for the broader author community to provide input and feedback to the editors of the Society's journals.
  • Monitor the external publishing environment, noting trends, challenges, and changes and share their perspectives on this information with Council and EiCs regularly.
  • Serve as a source of information to Council about changes in the publishing landscape, and provide analysis as needed on how these issues may affect SfN.
  • Encourage effective communication and collaboration between the EiCs of SfN's scientific journals.
  • The chair of the committee, in consultation with the members of the committee, will provide input to Council about the annual performance reviews of the JNeurosci and eNeuro Editors-in-Chief each year.

The SfN treasurer, Editors-in-Chief of JNeurosci and eNeuro serve as ex officio members. Additional members with broad experience in journal editorial matters shall be appointed by Council.

Schedule

The committee will meet in person at least once each year during the annual meeting, and more frequently as needed. Additionally, the committee will hold conference calls in the quarters that an in-person meeting is not held. Committee members may also be invited to join regular calls with the EiCs to informally share information and advice.
