Why do you have so many editors?

Journals are broad in scope and represent the whole community of a discipline, each section is comparable to a journal in its own right

Broad Scope

A broader umbrella journal allows for greater inter-disciplinarity and fosters exchanges and networks within the community

Greater inter-disciplinarity

Frontiers journals attract a high number of submissions: more editors mean more specialisms and greater scholarly care of the articles

Higher Submissions
