JNE editorial board appointments
JNE EDITORIAL BOARD ApPOINTMENTS The Journal if Nutrition Education relies heavily on the volunteer efforts of professionals to review manuscripts and advise the Editors on their acceptability for publication in JNE. Each manuscript that is submitted is peer reviewed by at least three individuals with expertise relevant to the topic of the paper. The majority of these reviews are completed by members of the JNE Board ofEditors, with assistance from the Local "Advisory Committee and numerous ad hoc reviewers (see "From the Editor"), The Board of Editors members are selected by the Editors with the approval of the SNE Journal Committee. Each has demonstrated competence and interest in nutrition education through publication and service as an ad hoc reviewer. Selections are made each year to achieve a balance of disciplinary expertise, practical experience, and broad geographical and institutional representation. We encourage readers to submit the names of qualified and interested reviewers (including themselves) throughout the year so that they may be considered at the time that selections are made.
