About Journal Director
The Journal Director plays a pivotal role as the central coordinator for a newly established journal, serving as the essential link between all stakeholders in the publication process. This position requires the individual to oversee core journal management issues while acting as the primary bridge between the publisher (OAP), the journal's operations, and the editorial board members.
The Journal Director has the flexibility to either serve as the Editor-in-Chief, if qualified and willing to undertake this responsibility, or to nominate another suitable candidate for this position. Regardless of this choice, the Director maintains their crucial role as the coordinator between the publisher and board members. The organizational structure follows a clear chain of communication:
OAP ↔ Journal ↔ Journal Director ↔ Editor-in-Chief & Board Members
Importantly, OAP does not engage directly with board members; all communication must flow through the Journal Director, ensuring consistent and coordinated information exchange. This structure maintains clear lines of authority and communication, making the Journal Director the indispensable cornerstone of the journal's operational success.
