[Insight-developers] Volunteers to be IJ associate editors

[Julien Jomier]

Hi Gaetan,

Very good question.

The system actually sorts the reviewers by relevance for a given paper 
based on the reviewers' preferences and the keywords of the paper. Right 
now the review preferences are not complete but we plan to extend the 
list soon.
Moreover, like any other journals, the editors have to do some research 
and see if others have published related work, etc... most of the time 
by looking at the list of references for a paper we are able to find 
reviewers.

Hope that answers your question,

Julien
