Information about Being a Section Editor

Applications are now being accepted for section editor positions for 2012.

Being a collaborative work, Radiopaedia.org needs a guiding hand. This is the job of the section editors. In this capacity you are able to shape your section, and maintain a high standard of content. Being a section editor can take as little as 1 to 2 hours a week, and looks great on your CV.

The appointment is ideally for 12 months, and is open to anyone who is an accredited radiology registrar / resident or above. We strongly encourage you to contribute to Radiopaedia.org before applying, as not only is the number of prior contributions a factor is selecting section editors, but it will also allow you to become familiar with the structure and workings of the site.

Your name will remain listed in the previous editors section, so that your contribution will be remembered.

Your role as section editor includes:

maintaining and organising your section
reviewing new additions for links, content etc...
regular contributions of new articles and improvements of existing articles
participating in discussions with other editors in regards to site-wide issues
encouraging and providing feedback to new contributors
actively trying to promote Radiopaedia.org

What is not considered sufficient to warrant the position of a section editor:

few or only minor occasional contributions
contributing only cases

Being a section editor is rewarding, is a great way to study / revise and makes a noticeable addition to your CV. You also make connections with contemporaries from around the world, which, as many of the current editors will attest to, is one of the most enjoyable aspects of this community.

To apply : simply write an email with a copy of your CV and which section(s) you are interested in editing to editors@radiopaedia.org. Please also give your existing Radiopaedia.org username, so that we can review your profile and previous contributions.
