Guidelines for becoming an Editor on CNKE.ORG

CNKE.org is committed to maintaining a high standard of quality, accuracy, and depth in its content. To uphold these standards, we welcome contributors who demonstrate dedication and expertise in child neurology to join our editorial team. Below are the guidelines for being considered as an editor:

Eligibility for Editorial Consideration
Contributors must meet the following criteria to be considered for an editorial role:

• Substantive Contributions: Editors are those who make substantial contributions to the content. This includes:
  • Adding original, well-researched information.
  • Enhancing the depth of existing articles with significant updates.
  • Providing expert commentary or analysis on key topics.
• Minimal Formatting-Only Edits: Contributors who focus solely on formatting, grammatical corrections, or minor content adjustments will not typically qualify for an editorial role. Such contributions, while valued, do not meet the threshold for substantive input.

Expertise and Knowledge

• Demonstrated knowledge and experience in child neurology or allied fields is required.
• Previous contributions to reputable publications, research, or significant involvement in child neurology communities are advantageous.

Consistency and Commitment

• Contributors must demonstrate a history of consistent and meaningful involvement with CNKE.org content.
• Regular and timely contributions over an extended period will be considered favorably.

Collaboration and Professionalism

• Editors are expected to collaborate effectively with other contributors and adhere to CNKE.org’s standards of professionalism and ethics.
• Constructive feedback, responsiveness to peer suggestions, and adherence to editorial guidelines are key attributes.

Peer Review and Approval

• All contributions are subject to peer review by the existing editorial board.
• Contributors must accept and incorporate feedback as part of the review process.

Recognition of Editors

• Editors will be acknowledged on the Editorial Team page of CNKE.org.
• Contributions made by editors will be publicly attributed to ensure transparency and credit.

Application Process

• Editorial roles are not open for direct application. Instead, the editorial board monitors contributions over time and extends invitations to contributors who meet the criteria outlined above.
• Contributors who receive invitations have consistently demonstrated high-quality contributions and alignment with the mission of CNKE.org.

Terms and Conditions

• Editorial roles are voluntary and aim to support the mission of CNKE.org in advancing child neurology knowledge.
