Hi StefanMn, StefanMz, all

In principle I have no problem with having sections for people. I checked on a couple of other journals and saw that some don’t do it:

C-theory
http://www.ctheory.net/static.aspx?id=Editorial%20Board

Fast Capitalism:
http://www.uta.edu/huma/agger/fastcapitalism/editorialboard.html

But others do, in the form of pop-up boxes (no photos though): 
 
Triple-C
http://www.triple-c.at/index.php/tripleC/about/editorialTeam
In all the ones I looked at there was a link to an outside page.

First Monday
http://firstmonday.org/htbin/cgiwrap/bin/ojs/index.php/fm/about/editorialTeam
Here some pop-up windows are empty. This one is interesting because it has some non-academics on it (with no outside link). They mainly seem to be entrepreneurs or consultant I guess they can claim an expertise in business. There is a social movement activist who could claim expertise in grassroots organising I suppose. It's not something that I find terribly convincing in terms of their ability to evaluate texts though.

At this point all the people on the scientific commitee are academics and their capacity to evaluate submissions in their respective fields is in principle verified by their academic homepage which lists their research interests and or / publications. I have not checked but I'd be quite surprised if any of the current members did not have a homepage or website.

Our journal is not a traditional academic journal, it has an activist component which is clearly reflected in the make-up of the Governance Board. If we wanted to have non-academics on the Scientific Committee as well, why not, but I think they should be able to provide a link to an online archive which would show that they have indeed written some texts on the subject to which they are claiming an expertise in.

In my view, a situation in which anyone – academic or not - could not provide an outside link would be problematic.

cheers,
Mathieu

Hi StefanMz, Mathieu, all!

As an idea for further improvement: At the moment thanks to Mathieu
the members of the Scientific Committee are listed on the `current
 web page`_ just with name and affiliation. Later I'd 

find it useful

 if for each member there is an own page or one page 

listing all

 members with a bit more detail. In particular I - but 

probably>>  others as well - am interested in the 
background of people. At the

 very least I think this serves the new members as well 

as the

 founders of this project.

(Mathieu:)

At this stage I would suggest simply putting a link to the 

academic /

 professional homepage of the various people, rather 

than collating

 and setting up a lot of pages on the journal site; what 

do others

 think?


Since not all people do have a "homepage",


That's my point also. Please keep in mind that not everyone here 
is a
scientist with an official scientific affiliation.


we could offer to give some 
personal informations on a jox-page, but a link to an external 

page is 

fine too. As a compromise each member could have a page with, 

at least, 

name, affiliation, foto, and a link to an external page or 

some additional 

personal information as they wish.


I hope over the weekend I'll be able to set up the website as outlined
on [pox] recently. Then I'd think that is is useful if every 
member of
the scientific committee gets an own account there. This creates the
option of a personal homepage where everybody can put to what s/he
likes. Unless someone objects I'll create accounts then.

This would also open up an easy solution for pages where less public
things can be discussed. This stuff can be configured to be visible
only by a certain user group - for instance the scientific committee.
