In recent years, ACES has taken an interest in sponsoring and encouraging research about editing. We made a splash earlier this year with Fred Vultee’s research on editing and credibility.
Now, we are forming a panel of professors to continue these efforts. Their task will be to serve as our eyes and ears for research relevant to ACES members. They will also suggest ideas for research projects and share their own work in the ACES newsletter and at conferences.
Here are the members of the ACES Advisory Board for Research:
- Doug Fisher, University of South Carolina
- John Russial, University of Oregon
- Leslie-Jean Thornton, Arizona State University
All three are active members of ACES, and they have strong professional backgrounds that complement their academic credentials. Thanks to all three for volunteering to help ACES highlight research that shows what copy editors do and why editing matters.
