The Board of Reviewing Editors (BRE) is the body of scientists who will help deliver on eLife’s promise of an editorial process to better serve science and scientists.
The BRE will work with the Senior Editors to realise our commitment to fast, fair, and constructive editorial decision-making. Like the Senior Editors, the 175-member BRE represents the wide array of disciplines targeted for the eLife journal – from human genetics and neuroscience to biophysics and epidemiology. We present them according to general area of expertise and alphabetically by last name, below.
