In the fall of 2015, a young scholar named Anna Olga Szust began sending her C.V. and a cover letter to scores of scientific journals, with the hope of being named an editor. Editors play a vital role in the world of science publishing, checking the methodology of authors and managing the peer-review process; they are the thin red line between fact and fakery. At the same time, being appointed a journal editor is one of the many essential rungs in a scientists climb toward credibility and tenure.Szust isor was, until todayan associate professor at Adam Mickiewicz University, in Pozna?, Poland. Theres a photo of her on the schools Web site: she has short brown hair, is stylishly dressed, and sports a smile that is at best half-hearted. Szusts scholarly interests range from the history of science and sports to the study of cognition, attractiveness, and motivation.
