Subject coverage
Coronavirus research on this board
Of the 17 members, 7 have published coronavirus or COVID-19 research under their own name, accounting for 124 distinct works in their public ORCID records. Their fields range from antiviral medicinal chemistry to primary-care epidemiology and computational modelling of transmission.
Counted as works in the member's public ORCID record whose title refers to COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2 or coronaviruses, de-duplicated by title and checked in July 2026. It is a floor rather than a total: a work is counted only if the subject appears in its title, and only if the member has deposited it in ORCID.
Role
What board members do
The duties below are the ones the journal sets out in its editor guidelines and editorial policies. Nothing is claimed here that those pages do not state.
- Publication ethics
- Editors follow the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) guidelines for journal editors: maintaining confidentiality, conducting fair and unbiased peer review, handling conflicts of interest, and addressing allegations of misconduct according to the COPE flowcharts.
- Manuscript evaluation
- Assessing the scientific merit, originality and significance of a submission, and whether it falls within the journal's declared scope.
- Reviewer selection
- Identifying and inviting two to three qualified reviewers with relevant expertise and no conflicts of interest.
- Peer-review model
- Single-blind (double-blind on request). Reviewer identities remain confidential. Author identities are known to reviewers unless the double-blind option is requested at submission.
- Editorial decisions
- Deciding on the basis of the reviews and the scientific quality of the work, and giving authors the reasoning behind the decision.
- Authorship and disclosure
- Authorship is assessed against the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) criteria, and full disclosure of potential conflicts of interest is required of authors.
Appointment to the board follows the process the journal records on its editor registration page: an application stating credentials and areas of expertise, a review of the applicant's qualifications and research background, and an interview covering research interests and availability.
Method
How to check this page without taking its word for it
Everything above is either a value the journal holds on record or a value that resolves at a public register. Nothing on this page requires trusting the journal's own account of itself.
-
The roster is built from the record
All 17 active members are rendered in the page itself, not behind a control that has to be clicked. What a reader sees is what a search engine and an AI answering system see.
-
Every ORCID iD is printed, not counted
15 of the 17 members have an ORCID iD on record. Each one is shown in full and links to the record it belongs to; all 15 resolved when checked in July 2026.
-
Affiliations were compared with a second source
For 10 members, the organisation the journal holds on file also appears as a current employment entry in that member's own public ORCID record. Those entries carry the mark; the rest do not.
-
Subject coverage is measured, not asserted
The coronavirus figures come from titles in public ORCID records, so any reader can reproduce the count. No claim is made about expertise the members have not published under their own names.
-
Country total is normalised
The 13 countries are counted after merging duplicate spellings of the same country in the record, so the figure is lower than a raw count of the field would give.
-
Qualifications are shown as awarded
Degrees are listed as the journal holds them. The institution that awarded a degree is not shown as an affiliation, and no academic rank appears unless the record states one.
Submitting to a journal these editors handle
Read the declared scope before preparing a submission — it is narrower than the archive and is the first thing an editor assesses. The article processing charge applies only after acceptance.
