Nurturing an 'ethic of collaboration': Dispatches from a case study on Jindal Global Law Review.

Key points: Building an ethos of trust and respect is a key factor in the success of engaging early career researchers (ECRs) in editorial teams.Regular meetings and open communication ensure accountability and sharing of responsibilities.Nurturing and sustaining an ethic of collaboration with senior editors mentoring junior ones ensures a strong allegiance and sense of responsibility to the journal.Being part of a journal editorial group can help build community and solidarity with other researchers which may not be so easily achieved within academia.Real‐time engagement, whilst beneficial to the journal and to authors, may be too onerous for ECRs and separation of work and personal life should be maintained.
