What responsibilities are performed by the admin in a journal? Does the profile of an admin of a journal hidden from the outer world? There are some journals whose admin profiles are not found in Google search. What are the eligibilities required to become an admin?
I think, knowledge of language is the most important thing in this case. Because the subject is presented through language.
Hello Chandrani Ray Chowdhury
To answer your questions in order:
1. Responsibilities - to ensure manuscripts are in good order (and fulfil all the journal's) requirements prior to it being sent out to reviewers
When the manuscript comes back from the reviewers, they may had to convey it to the editor.
When it comes back from the editor (with a decision), they may have to convey it - positive or negative - to the author(s).
2. Hidden from the outer world? Yes and some of those workers like it that way so they are not seen and heard; some take the opposite and like to have a greater role
3. Eligibilities - none specific or common to all journals (I have seen some journals and the administrative assistant is very highly qualified!) but I generally agree with Biplab Kumar Chandra that being good with the language is very important to be successful in performing this role.
