Nominations, including self-nominations, are invited for a three-year term as
TOPLAS EiC, beginning on September 1, 2022. The EiC appointment may be renewed
at most one time. This is an entirely voluntary position, but ACM will provide
appropriate administrative support.
Appointed by the ACM Publications Board, Editors-in-Chief (EiCs) of ACM
journals are delegated full responsibility for the editorial management of the
journal consistent with the journal's charter and general ACM policies. The
Board relies on EiCs to ensure that the content of the journal is of high
quality and that the editorial review process is both timely and fair. He/she
has final say on acceptance of papers, size of the Editorial Board, and
appointment of Associate Editors. A complete list of responsibilities is found
in the ACM Volunteer Editors Position Descriptions
