The editorial office is paramount to a successful journal. That editorial office should be set up for success for editorial management. Disciplines vary but our editorial offices should all fundamentally be managing policies and workflows in a similar manner. The objective of this session is to assist editorial offices, publishers, societies, etc. ways to train their journals with confidence, enable them to have a clear path and plan when considering staffing their teams and provide the tools to get the job done. Recruitment and retention can be challenging but robust training and support and continuing education is the cornerstone of a good editorial office. With this session there should be clear take-aways for an editorial office to be prepared to handle Peer-Review for any journal.
