Editorial Advisory Committee

The UJ Press Editorial Advisory Committee consists of members of the University’s Faculties with representatives from each Faculty as well as an independent counterpart for each. The Manager of the Press is an ex officio, non-voting member. Each member is appointed by the Executive Director: Library and Information Centre. The Chair of the Committee must be a current member and is appointed by a majority vote at the first meeting of the Committee. The Committee meets once a year. It is responsible for the imprint of the Press. In addition to reviewing publishing proposals in their field of expertise, the Editorial Committee reviews and participates in the formulation of Press editorial policy, and provides guidance and support on acquisitions and the strategic direction of the Press.
