Scientific editors are responsible for deciding which articles to publish in their journals. However, we have not found documentation of their required knowledge, skills, and characteristics, or the existence of any formal core competencies for this role.
We describe the development of a minimum set of core competencies for scientific editors of biomedical journals.
The 14 key core competencies are divided into three major areas, and each competency has a list of associated elements or descriptions of more specific knowledge, skills, and characteristics that contribute to its fulfillment.
We believe that these core competencies are a baseline of the knowledge, skills, and characteristics needed to perform competently the duties of a scientific editor at a biomedical journal.
科学编辑负责决定在其期刊上发表哪些文章。然而,我们尚未找到有关他们所需知识、技能和特质的文献记录,也未发现该角色存在任何正式的核心能力要求。
我们描述了生物医学期刊科学编辑最低限度核心能力集的制定过程。
14项关键核心能力分为三个主要领域,每项能力都有一系列相关要素或对有助于实现该能力的更具体知识、技能和特质的描述。
我们认为,这些核心能力是胜任生物医学期刊科学编辑职责所需知识、技能和特质的基线。
