Section editors are members of the WikiAnesthesia editorial team who are responsible for overseeing the creation and maintenance of content within their "section".

Responsibilities

Section editors have broad editorial authority to manage the content of their section, and have ultimate responsibility to:

• Author content and reviewing edits from other users
  • Ensure articles reflect current evidence-based practices with appropriate citation of references
  • Limit the scope and style of content to preserve rapid usefulness at the point of care
  • Section editors are encouraged to use the "watch" feature to receive notifications whenever articles are updated
• Organize content
  • Determine the list of article titles to be included in a section
    • This is not trivial. Article titles must be intuitive, have an appropriate level of granularity, but avoid redundant content which would be challenging to maintain
  • Ensure article titles and content match style guidelines
  • Create redirects (aliases) to allow articles to be found using alternative titles
  • Update the table of contents
  • Define and apply categories and subcategories to articles
• Revise templates (if relevant)
• Propose and oversee development of new interactive features (if relevant)

Section editors are also encouraged to attend monthly WikiAnesthesia leadership team meetings when possible.

Eligibility

Section editors must have demonstrated proficiency with authoring content on WikiAnesthesia, and must at least meet the criteria for being an assistant editor to be considered.

Appointment

• Section editors are appointed by the Editor-in-Chief
• Appointment term is for 1 year, and may be extended indefinitely
