Reading, translation and publication
Editorial team
The editorial team turns a text into a publication in both of the site’s languages: checks, two readings by members of the editorial board, translation, layout. It is preparing new formats: research notes, reports and lab news items.

- Coordinate translation into French and into English with the team’s translators
- Set the publication calendar with the labs, the communication team and the YouthShare newsletter
- Launch the new formats: research notes, reports and lab news items, each with its own template and review process
- Build external reviews of research notes and reports into the publication process, with the Research, Quality and Impact Lead
- Welcome and train new team members: editorial board, translation, sub-editing
- Report to the editorial director: publications released, deadlines, questions to settle
