JLLTR Associate Editor Position
JLLTR Associate Editors have the authority and responsibility of final acceptance of
manuscripts reviewed in their areas of expertise that they receive from the JLLTR Editor-in-Chief
for review. The Editor-in-Chief reserves the responsibility of requiring authors of accepted
papers to revise to meet style and length requirements as necessary. JLLTR Associate Editors
have the authority and responsibility of appointing up to five members of the JLLTR Editorial
Board each for terms of four years.
Procedure. The Associate Editor (AE) receives manuscripts electronically from the Editorin-Chief for review. The AE may decide to “desk reject” or send the paper out to be reviewed by
three members of the Editorial Board (the AE is likely to desk reject about 50% of the papers that
she/he receives from the Editor-in-Chief). The AE receives the reviews from the members of the
Editorial Board members and the AE decides whether to reject the paper; ask for a revision, or
accept the paper for publication. The AE notifies the corresponding author of her/his decision.
Once a paper is accepted for publication in its final form; the AE sends the paper electronically to
the Editor-in-Chief for style/length review and publication in the JLLTR. The names and
affiliations of the Associate Editors and all members of the Editorial Board appear in the JLLTR
Masthead in each issue of publication. Each Associate Editor and each Editorial Board member
receives a complimentary, personal, annual subscription for the JLLTR. Associate Editors and
Editorial Board members receive no payment for services provided or to cover expenses related
to their work for the JLLTR.
Associate Editors are encouraged to participate by presenting a paper at the Society’s
Symposia on the Consumer Psychology of Tourism, Hospitality, and Leisure Research (CPTHL).
The Fourth Symposium is scheduled to be held at the HEC, Montreal, 17-20 July 2005. Papers
presented at the First, Second, and Third CPTHL Symposia are available in hardback books
published by CABI, (e.g., see http://www.oup-usa.org/toc/tc_0851993222.html).
The focus of the Society is to broaden and deepen scientific and practical knowledge and
theory of lived experiences that often include tradeoffs among travel, leisure, work, family life,
and additional dimensions of lifestyles. During 2003-2004, Associate Editors and Editorial Board
members accepting the invitation to join the JLLTR Editorial Board are also extended the offer to
become one of the 100 Society Founding Members. (The limit for Founding Membership Status
is 100 members). Founding Members receive a permanent 40% discount of dues in the Society
over their lifetimes. Dues will be paid starting for the first year in 2005. Regular member dues
are $100 Euros; thus, Founding Member dues are $60 Euros in 2005.) Regular dues will remain
at $100 per annum for 2006 and 2007.
Scholars working in disciplines that relate to lifestyle, leisure, and tourism are invited to
request Founding Member status in the Society and to participate as JLLTR Editorial Board
