Procedures of the Radical Philosophy Review
The Executive Editorial Committee (EEC) consists of one editor and up to four co-editors. The EEC attempts to have a composition that is reflective of the diversity of radical interests and approaches of the RPA membership. The EEC collectively decides the acceptance of submitted articles. The Book Review Editor may opt for participating in this process.
The preferred mode of operation of the EEC is consensus.
The EEC together with the Book Review Editor (the EEC2) invites new co-editors from among the RPA membership, typically specifying a need for certain competencies (e.g., feminism; continental). The EEC2 may personally solicit new co-editors, or send out a call for a new co-editor and then select a new co-editor from among the applicants. The RPA Advisory Committee (AC) must approve the selection of the new co-editor. In case that the AC disapproves of the selection, an attempt will be made to find a mutually agreeable co-editor. If this process fails, the EEC2 will temporarily appoint its nominee until the RPA membership at large decides the issue at its biennial convention.
The Book Review editor is chosen in the same way as co-editors.
The EEC2 selects the editor with direct input of the AC. A smooth transition makes it desirable that the new editor has experience as co-editor and so the EEC2 may nominate a new editor from the EEC. The EEC invites the AC to suggest additional nominations. The AC may solicit nominations or send out a call for a new editor among the RPA membership. The EEC2 selects the editor. In case that the AC disapproves of the selection, an attempt will be made to find a mutually agreeable editor. If this process fails, the EEC2 will temporarily appoint its nominee until the RPA membership at large decides the issue at its biennial business meeting.
Co-editors of special issues of the RPR featuring papers delivered at RPA biennial conferences will be selected as follows: one by the program committee for the relevant conference and another by the EEC, in cooperation with the co-editor selected by the program committee.
All EEC2 appointments must be ratified by the RPA membership at its biennial meeting. All appointments are for four years and may be renewed.
The RPR Editorial Board will be renamed Editorial Advisory Board (AB). Membership is limited to 30. Its purpose is to promote the journal and help to shape its intellectual and practical focus. AB members are expected to contribute to the refereeing process. The EEC invites new members to the AB. All appointments are for four years and may be renewed. The RPA membership at large at the biennial business meeting may add or eliminate AB members.
