Section editors help ensure that disciplinary standards are applied without isolating the journal’s sections from one another. They advise on scope, identify suitable reviewers, support editorial decisions and help develop responsible calls for papers.

Proposed editorial sections

• Economics

  Active scholarship in at least one major economics field and competence in relevant quantitative or qualitative methods.

• Business & Management

  Research experience in management, organisation, marketing, entrepreneurship, operations or accounting.

• Banking & Finance

  Expertise in financial systems, markets, corporate finance, fintech, risk, insurance or regulation.

• Tourism & Hospitality

  Research in tourism systems, hospitality management, destination studies, sustainability or visitor behaviour.

• International Relations & Political Science

  Expertise in IR theory, foreign policy, security, regional studies, governance or political analysis.

• International & Comparative Law

  Demonstrated legal research expertise and familiarity with disciplinary citation and source requirements.

• Interdisciplinary Social Sciences

  Ability to evaluate cross-disciplinary questions, theory and methods across social-science fields.

Section editor standards

• Maintain an active, diverse and ethical reviewer pool.
• Avoid reliance on close colleagues, one institution or one region.
• Apply journal policies while respecting legitimate disciplinary differences.
• Request citations only for scholarly reasons, never to influence metrics.
• Report workload or conflicts early so manuscripts can be reassigned.

Role boundaries

• Section editors recommend decisions but do not promise outcomes to authors or reviewers.
• They do not handle submissions when a personal, professional or financial conflict exists.
• Policy exceptions and research-integrity concerns are escalated to the Editor-in-Chief.

Named appointments will be listed here when available.
