Editor – UKSG Serials Electronic Newsletter

The UK Serials Group is the only organisation spanning the wide range of interest and activity between serials producers and readers.  As part of its mission to promote discussion and the free flow of information on serials matters, the UKSG  is launching a twice-monthly electronic newsletter. 

The UKSG wishes to award a contract for a total of 10,000  UK pounds p.a. for the editing and production of the Newsletter which will encompass topical items on the international serials community and moderated discussion.

Further Details

The contract will be managed by the Editors of 'Serials'.  It is anticipated that content will be acquired by keeping up-to-date with all the activities of the community, including: monitoring list-servs and key players' websites and following up news items with interviews with relevant individuals; receiving and analysing press releases; writing succinct resumes of news items; linking the Newsletter to fuller information on the UKSG website.  It will also be important to work collaboratively with the 'Serials' editorial board members.

It is anticipated that there will be an annual rolling consultancy contract with UKSG for a total of £10,000 per year, to include all taxes, time, local travel, and communications (it may be necessary to agree an additional allowance for international communications). It is assumed that the contract will also include the contractor’s own office accommodation and consumables where applicable.  Travel and registration fees for conferences and seminars may be paid for where considered necessary and agreed in advance. Travel expenses would be paid for attendance at Serials Editorial Board meetings in the UK.

The contract will be paid monthly in arrears and will include performance targets.  There will be quarterly reviews at which one month’s notice may be given if the targets are not met.  The contractor will be responsible for their own tax, national insurance and other filings.
