[Logprofs] FINAL REMINDER: Invitation to Submit Proposals for the Position of Editor Team - Journal of Business Logistics

[Knemeyer, August]

Invitation to Submit Proposals for the Position of Editor Team
Journal of Business Logistics

As part of its normal editor rotation process the Journal of Business Logistics (JBL) is seeking proposals for the next Editor Team.  The selected Editor Team will serve a 4-year term.  The appointment begins on January 1, 2026, however the newly selected Editor Team is expected to work with the current Editor Team during 2025, the transitional year.

The search committee invites active academic researchers with a strong record in publishing refereed research on topics related to logistics and supply chain management to submit a proposal. Evidence of strong research records include research impact (e.g., citations, downloads, etc.) and research quality (e.g., impact scores of publications). Normally, JBL Editor Teams are made up of tenured faculty members at respected academic institutions. Members of the Editor Team are expected to have publication records in JBL and a demonstrated commitment to the journal’s historic focus on both logistics and supply chain management. Diversity on the Editor Team with respect to (for example) research areas, methodological expertise, geographical presence, and gender, is encouraged. Finally, potential Editor Teams should provide evidence of institutional support (e.g., course relief, funding for journal administrators, etc.) for taking over editorial leadership of JBL.
