自从 1752 年英国皇家学会以编辑委员会取代《哲学汇刊》的编辑以来，它创建了一个日益复杂的系统，将编辑工作和责任分配给许多人。 1902 年，协会应任命一名编辑的建议提供了一个机会来探索“编辑”的角色被认为是什么：为什么这样的角色现在可能使协会及其期刊受益？在现有的编辑结构中，“编辑”可以扮演什么角色？审视英国皇家学会对分布式编辑实践的长期承诺，可以与关注唯一编辑崛起的学术编辑历史形成对比。它使我们能够调查分布式编辑实践中公认的挑战，并考虑学术期刊编辑在更广泛的编辑系统中观念的转变。
Ever since the Royal Society replaced the editor of the Philosophical Transactions with an editorial committee in 1752, it created an increasingly complex system which distributed editorial work and responsibility among many individuals. A 1902 suggestion that the Society ought to appoint an editor offers an opportunity to explore what the role of "editor" was believed to be: why might such a role now benefit the Society and its journals? What role might an "editor" play amidst the existing editorial structures? Examining the Royal Society's long-standing commitment to distributed editorial practices offers a counterpoint to histories of academic editorship that focus on the rise of the sole editor. It allows us to investigate the acknowledged challenges of working with distributed editorial practices and to consider the shifting perception of the academic journal editor within the wider editorial system.
