Circles

The JAFSCD Shareholder Consortium has a number of "Circles" (virtual committees) that advise the journal staff. Circles may be permanent or ad hoc and are led by members of the Consortium. They establish their own governance structure and operate independently. This maximizes thoughtful input to the journal staff and ensures that the journal is being objectively held accountable to its mission.
