European Science Editing - what does it mean to you?
Follow us
Membership surveys have repeatedly highlighted the Journal, European Science Editing, as one of the key member benefit of EASE. But we have never asked in more detail what you think about the different sections of the Journal, when and how you read it, which type of article you prefer, etc. So it’s time to do this. We have put 10 questions on Survey Monkey, asking for your opinion regarding various facets of the Journal. Please take the time to complete this. The Journal belongs to you, the members of EASE; it’s time to have your say in its development.
We would like responses by the end of December, so that we can discuss them at the next Publications Committee meeting. But please, do it now or set yourself a reminder to do it soon – we want your feedback!
