Content Editor

SSRN is Elsevier’s preprint server, working with over 1,200 Elsevier journals to offer submitting authors the option to preprint their research. Authors may also submit directly to SSRN through a journal‑independent de novo route. One of SSRN’s recent successes has been strong growth in the clinical and medical disciplines, supported by notable partnerships such as Preprints with The Lancet and Cell Press journals. This growth coincides with the emergence of new funder policies that require authors to preprint their work and meet specific compliance criteria. In this role, you will oversee the smooth operation of the medical queues, ensuring turnaround times are met and that all required reporting standards—including ethical information—are satisfied. You will also be responsible for ensuring that no potentially harmful preprints are posted. Occasional managerial oversight will be provided for complex situations and cases. Working closely with the Content Director, you will identify gaps in contractor coverage so that additional resources can be recruited, maintaining queue performance and health. In addition, you will deliver reporting on growth within the medical area and contribute to projects that promote excellence in medical preprinting.
