Call for Nominations for Editor-in-Chief of ACM Transactions on Computing Education

Call for Nominations: Editor-In-Chief, ACM Transactions on Computing Education

The term of the current Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of the ACM Transactions on Computing Education (TOCE) is coming to an end, and the ACM Publications Board has set up a nominating committee to assist the Board in selecting the next EiC.  TOCE was established in 2001 and is a premier journal for computing education, publishing over 30 papers annually.

Nominations, including self nominations, are invited for a three-year term as TOCE EiC, beginning on September 1, 2021.  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. Additional information can be found in the following documents:

·                 Rights and Responsibilities in ACM Publishing

·                ACM’s Evaluation Criteria for Editors-in-Chief

Nominations should include a vita along with a brief statement of why the nominee should be considered. Self-nominations are encouraged. Nominations should include a statement of the candidate’s vision for the future development of TOCE. The deadline for submitting nominations is July 21, 2021, although nominations will continue to be accepted until the position is filled.
