The Three Scholars behind ScholarOne: EJIL’s Associate Editors
Writing an article is such a personal endeavour: a struggle with questions, structure and individual sentences. And when that struggle seems to be over and the article appears ready for sharing, it can be submitted to ScholarOne, a ‘journals workflow management software’ that EJIL and many other journals use. That hugely personal product is thus fed to a…
