Academic Editorial Committee

The Academic Editorial Committee consists of leading scholars of Egyptology. Its tasks are to establish and maintain the overall concept of the encyclopedia, select the area editors and authors, and provide them with clear directions to assure well-balanced and complete information on each subject. Selection criteria for authors and area editors are their academic record and standing, as well as their publication record on a specific sub-field or particular subject. The Academic Editorial Committee will guide the process of review and permission to publish.
