We, at Intersections, are looking forward to extending our team. Intersections: A Journal of Literary and Cultural Studies (ISSN: 2583-1542)is an interdisciplinary academic journal that encourages new research in literature and cultural studies. Published by the Department of English, Kidderpore College, it offers an interactive forum for critical discourses.

While the journal already has a distinguished editorial team, and an experienced body of reviewers, Intersections is looking for more editors and reviewers to propel the journal towards greater excellence.

Editor

As a member of the Editorial Board, one would be expected to act in close unison with the Editor-in-Chief and the other Editorial Board Members, and thereby preserve the standard of the journal and enhance its scholarship. This could be an opportunity to connect the authors and readers at interesting crossroads. The editor would thus act as an envoy of the journal to the communities of scholars and general readers. Thus, an editor would be required to discharge the following responsibilities: 

• Edit the submitted articles carefully and return the edited copies to the Editor-in-Chief within the stipulated time frame, so as to facilitate smooth and timely publication of the journal issue. 
• Check whether the author has carried out the arguments in the article cogently and mark out the inconsistencies, if any.
• Check spelling, typographical, grammatical, punctuation, and such other errors meticulously, at the time of editing of the submitted manuscript.
• Look for errors in citations in the manuscript, and ensure that they are in line with the journal’s prescribed guidelines.
• Attend virtual Editorial Board Meetings once a year.

Reviewer

As a member of the Reviewer’s Panel, one is also expected to work in tandem with the Editor-in-Chief, by reviewing submitted manuscripts, with the following concerns in mind:

• Since this is a double-blind peer reviewed journal, the reviewer’s and the author’s identities would remain undisclosed to each other. To preserve confidentiality, no information regarding the reviewers will be put up on the public domain, such as the journal website, but shall remain confidential, and strictly limited to the Editor-in-Chief and other Associate Editors.
• Although manuscripts are usually sent to reviewers keeping in mind their research interests, the reviewer may occasionally be requested to review articles that may or may not be tangentially related to one’s research interests only. The Reviewer would nevertheless be requested to carry out the review process to the best of his or her abilities.
• The Reviewer would be required to minutely go through the paper, and point out all errors that would then be passed on to the author for the first round of corrections. Types of errors could include, but might not remain limited to, syntactical, grammatical, logical, sequential, typographical, citational errors. The reviewer should insert comments or use “Track Change” mode in Microsoft Word for the purpose.

Since this is a double-blind peer reviewed journal, it is a kind request that utmost care be exercised so that the Reviewers’ / Editors’ names are not revealed, in the Word Document in which the reviewing or editing is being done.

Editors and Reviewers having research interests in American Literature, Digital Humanities, Linguistics, Literary Theory, Translation Theory and Translation Studies, English Language Teaching, Film Studies, Science Fiction, Posthumanism, Ecocriticism, World Literatures, and Graphic Novels are most welcome; however, this list is neither exhaustive nor restrictive.

Working either as a part of the Editorial Team or the Reviewers’ Panel, Intersections will surely provide an exciting opportunity, and offer a unique discursive space. This shall naturally enable you to remain closely associated with the current trends in research, and widen your network in the research community. So, look no further, and come and join our vibrant community of highly enthusiastic researchers, reviewers, editors, and readers. Like almost all reviewing/editing works for academic journals in India, this work too, humbly requests the editor/reviewer to excuse Intersection’s inability to provide them with an honorarium for their work.
