Guidelines for Editors
Editorial review at PLOS Sustainability and Transformation is run by an international Editorial Board comprised of working researchers under the leadership of the Editors-in-Chief. The Editorial Board is part of the larger PLOS Editorial Board community and upholds the Code of Conduct for Editorial Board Members.
The Editorial Board includes Section Editors with high-level oversight of the peer review process, and Academic Editors who directly manage the peer review process.
