and reviewers. Finding new volunteers to take on editorial and reviewer roles
55
can sometimes be the trickiest part of the review process. However, we have

resources available to help you in that effort!

The [**Editors Needed** section of the dashboard](https://www.pyopensci.org/metrics/peer-review/current-review-status.html#editors-needed) is useful for you to check in and see how the Editor in Chief (EiC) is doing. In some cases, the Editor in Chief needs support in onboarding a new editor. If packages are seeking editors for more than a month, it's time to check in. Sometimes, all that is needed is for the package to have an editor, but the YAML at the top of the issue hasn't been filled out properly. This is an easy fix - just add the editor to the `editor:` field at the top of the issue. In other cases, we may need to run a call for more editors. In that case, you can consult

### 5. Annual editorial team engagement check

Once a year, the Peer Review Lead should check in with the editorial team to ensure editors are still engaged and available to continue in their roles. This can be done by:

* Sending an email to the editorial team, or

* Posting in the `#private-editorial-team` Slack channel, or

* Opening a GitHub issue in the private editorial repository

Ask editors to confirm they are still able to participate and manage reviews. If an editor is no longer engaged or available, work with them to gracefully offboard them following the process in the [Onboarding & Offboarding Guide](onboarding-guide#off-boarding-an-editor).
