The application procedure for editors is the same, except that (in Step 2) editor candidates should also send to personnel [at] citizendium.org two additional items: a CV or resume attached (or linked), as well as some links to Web material that tends to support the claims made in the CV, such as conference proceedings, or a departmental home page. Both additional requirements may be fulfilled by a CV that is hosted on an official work Web page.
Applicants must provide adequate evidence of claims. Official transcripts and other verifications may be requested.


Note: it is perfectly acceptable for an editor to get started as an author. To become an editor, then, a person could simply place links to a CV, and perhaps other supporting material, on his or her user page, and then send a link to that page to personnel [at] citizendium.org.

We welcome editor-hopefuls to begin as authors. In this case, authors may apply through their user page by sending a link to it to personnel@citizendium.org.
