Lead Editors: guide overall process, set journal standards, analyze manuscripts before review to evaluate a good fit with the journal’s scope, and make final decisions on manuscripts. Often weigh broader impacts and other factors (such as merit of a highly innovative idea, need to reframe a manuscript as a different type, etc.) when making manuscript decisions.
