Above all, the editor is expected to maintain the highest ethical and scientific standards with respect to scientific publication.

Please note that participation by members of underrepresented groups in the publication process is encouraged and will be welcomed. Self-nominations are also encouraged.

The new Editor will be expected to join APA and Division 16 if not already a member. All other qualifications being equal, preference will be given to candidates who have been a member of Division 16 for at least two years.
