+### Expected level of committment 
+
+Editing for JOSS is a substantial committment, and we would encourage you to read our [editorial guide](https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/editing.html), and in particular our [expectations of editors](https://joss.readthedocs.io/en/latest/expectations.html). While the guide has a bunch more information, some things we think are particulatly important include 1) pay ongoing attention to the submissions they are handling (i.e., checking in on papers ~twice per week for a few minutes at a time), 2) responding in a timely fashion to invites to edit, and 3) contributing to the overall editorial team (e.g., participating in scope reviews, giving feedback to colleagues in Slack).

 ### Selection process
 
 The [JOSS editorial team](http://joss.theoj.org/about#editorial_board) will review your applications and make their recommendations. Highly-ranked candidates will then have a short (~30 minute) phone call/video conference interview with the editor(s)-in-chief. Successful candidates will then join the JOSS editorial team for a probational period of 3 months before becoming a full member of the editorial team. You will get an onboarding “buddy” from the experienced editors to help you out during that time.
