How would you describe a typical working day [in terms of your editorial work]? What’s been the proudest achievement of your editorship so far? How do you measure success as an editor? Is there anything you wish someone had told you on day one? What’s has surprised you most as an editor? What is the most important attribute for being an editor in your opinion? Name one item/tool/resource that you cannot do without in your role? New editor perspectives: Dirk Van Raemdonckelsevier.com https://lnkd.in/gGTjrt4R
