[CANMEDLIB] CALL for Copyeditors - Evidence Based Library and Information Services

[EBLIP Journal]

*Evidence Based Library and Information Practice* (*EBLIP*) is looking for
two new copyeditors to join our copyediting team. Ideally, candidates will
be in place by March 2023, in time to begin work on the June issue.



The role of Copyeditors is to:



   - Communicate with the Lead Copyeditor regarding circumstances that
   might require temporary absences from editing availability
   - Respond to Editors in a timely manner to accept or reject copyediting
   requests
   - Meet copyediting deadlines set by Editors
   - Utilize *EBLIP* copyediting guidelines alongside APA style guidelines
   - Ensure that proper grammar and spelling conventions are addressed
   - Verify citations and references to the extent possible with available
   bibliographic resources and advise Editor of any not checked
   - Identify inconsistencies or changes in format or style as necessary



The ideal candidate will have copyediting or other detail-oriented editing
experience and will possess a working knowledge of APA style and an
interest in evidence based practice. The position requires dedicated time
to ensure *EBLIP* publishing deadlines are met, and it is therefore
essential that interested persons ensure available time to devote to this
position prior to applying. The estimated workload is approximately 5 to 10
hours per issue, and much of this work falls over a one-month period, on a
quarterly basis, prior to the publication of each issue.



Interested persons should send a cover letter, indicating areas of strength
they would bring to the role, and resume/CV as a single PDF file to Heather
Healy, Lead Copyeditor, at  <lorie.kloda at mcgill.ca>heather-healy at uiowa.edu by
January 20, 2023.



*Please note:* *Evidence Based Library and Information Practice* is a
non-profit, open access journal and all positions are voluntary and unpaid.
The positions are an excellent opportunity for continuing professional
development and gaining experience in reviewing or critically appraising
library-related research.
