Subject: Call for nominations for TACL Co-Editor-in-Chief, Summer 2019-Summer 2022

 
The ACL is seeking nominations (self-nominations are permitted and
encouraged), for a co-Editor-in-Chief (henceforth “EiC”, with the “co-”
understood) of the journal Transactions of the ACL (TACL), serving a
three-year term.  The successful candidate should be able to start in the
summer (say, July 1) of 2019, so as to have substantial overlap with the EiC
that is retiring on December 31, 2019.
 
TACL is a rapidly growing, premier journal in the area of Computational
Linguistics and Natural Language Processing published by MIT Press. It is
distinguished by its monthly submission deadline, fast turn-around, and
reviewing structure that involves a dedicated reviewing pool and a large team
of action editors. Authors of TACL publications are customarily invited to
present their work at a major ACL conference (see https://www.transacl.org for
details).  The regularly-posted TACL reports to the ACL Exec, available at
https://transacl.org/ojs/index.php/tacl/about/history, may be consulted for
submission and decision statistics and more details of prior activities, as
can current and past TACL EiCs: Lillian Lee (2014-December 2019), Mark Johnson
(2016-June 2020), Brian Roark (2018-June 2021), Michael Collins (2012-2015),
Dekang Lin (2012-2014), Kristina Toutanova (2016-2018).
 
TACL is led by a team of 2-3 EiCs that, with the help of an Editorial
Assistant (paid by the ACL for effort of roughly one day a week),
collaboratively oversees the entire journal.  Duties include:
 
- assignment of each monthly round of submissions to action editors (should be
completed by the 7th of that month; this takes approximately 10 hours, but the
current arrangement among the EiCs is to alternate which months they are in
charge of);
- day-to-day management and oversight of the journal's operations, including
supervising the reviewing process, providing advice and direction where
appropriate, interacting with the ACL Anthology and our publisher, MIT Press,
regarding publication and archiving, handling queries, and troubleshooting and
settling issues as they arise;
- recruiting suitable reviewers and action editors for TACL's reviewer pool;
- strategic planning for the journal (and arguably, by extension, the field);
- interacting with *ACL conference Program Chairs to handle potentially
duplicate submissions and arrange conference presentations for TACL authors;
- providing semiannual reports to the  ACL Executive Committee (the “Exec”) 
and the reporting to the community at ACL business meetings.
 
The ideal candidate would have broad knowledge and interests across the whole
field of computational linguistics and natural language processing; have
interest in and facility with formulating reviewing and publication policy,
given that the submission/reviewing/publication/preprint ecosystem in our
community may be said to currently be in a state of flux; be able to interact
fruitfully with a wide range of people, including researchers (authors,
reviewers, action editors, conference program chairs), publisher staff, and
software-support staff; and be effective in working closely with the other
TACL EiC staff.
