Dear Dr.  Lee,

Thank you for your positive response.  We are pleased to welcome you on board as an Associate Editor to the journal's specialty section Reproduction.

As Associate Editor you would be involved in following activities:

1. Overseeing the peer review for new research related to your interests, typically 5 papers per year (depending on your availability).

2. Helping the journal expand the Editorial Board, inviting 10-15 esteemed colleagues to join the Board as Review Editors, during your first month as Associate Editor

3. You will be encouraged to suggest and co-edit a Research Topic (RT), a thematic collection of articles, on a research area that interests you, in collaboration with other Editors and authors. Editors who work on a RT focus only on that project for its duration. More information regarding Research Topics can be found here.

As the role is under a voluntary basis, there is a degree of flexibility. You can set the pace of your collaboration by accepting or declining manuscripts. As for activities 2 and 3, numbers and timing are not set in stone.

I am also attaching a link where you can find more detailed information about the Associate Editor role

I have now sent you an official invitation  - you should receive this in your inbox within the next few hours, it will come from the journal's email address. Once you accept this invite (via a link included), our journal team will proceed to acquaint you with the role. Alternatively, you can login to your My Frontiers account to finalise this process.

Finally, I have attached an AE welcome pack which you may read in your own time. If you have any further questions at all, please do not hesitate to get in touch. We very much look forward to collaborating with you.

Warm regards,

Ana
