This article is aimed at new subeditors to assist them in getting started.

Role
The subeditor's role is to familiarise themselves with the style guide, contribute new content, and work on editorial projects.
Everyone has a different amount of time to volunteer as a Radiopaedia editor, but as a rule of thumb, at least a weekly contribution is expected.
Style guide
Some articles to read and familiarise yourself with include:
New content
There are several ways to find new content that needs creating or articles that need updating:
-
search for the tag "rewrite" and pick an article that requires updating for content and/or style guide errors
don't forget to remove the rewrite tag when you're done
-
write a new article
finding new topics to write on is easy, just navigate to the "Related articles" section and if the link is dead then it probably needs creating
always check by searching that the article does not already exist under a different title
Editorial projects
Editorial projects run throughout the year, each with a different focus. For example, a cluster review of a particular topic, ensuring classifications are current. Please check in at Radiopaedia Chat for the latest editorial projects.
