An editorial board is a group of experts in a specific research area who are responsible for evaluating and selecting research papers for publication in a particular journal. They provide expertise in the field, ensure the quality and relevance of the research being published, and help to maintain the integrity and reputation of the journal. Editorial boards may consist of researchers, practitioners, and other professionals with relevant expertise in the field. Members of the editorial board play a critical role in the publication process by reviewing submissions, providing feedback to authors, and making decisions on whether to accept or reject papers for publication.
