The Faculty

The Faculty comprises peer-nominated, internationally-renowned researchers from across the world,
who pick out and recommend articles they consider to be highly important to others working both in their field and beyond.

Faculty structure

  • Heads of Faculty are the most eminent individuals in their field overseeing each of the Faculties across biology and medicine. They divide their Faculty into its major disciplines – Sections – and appoint Section Heads for each of these fields.
  • Section Heads are leading authorities in their respective discipline, who provide editorial oversight and appoint Faculty Members to review the literature to ensure the full breadth of the field is covered.
  • Faculty Members are leading experts, who recommend the most noteworthy articles in their fields, sharing their perspective and opinion to help you understand the key points and context.
  • Associate Faculty Members are appointed by Faculty Members to assist them with the recommendation process. They also scan the tables of contents of the major general and specialist journals to ensure that the literature is systematically and comprehensively covered.
