What is a project editor?
The project editor is a member of the IEEE standards staff. He or she serves as the editorial liaison to various standards-developing committees in the IEEE, offering guidance to working groups on all editorial matters ranging from formatting to basic copyright issues. The project editor prepares approved standards for publication. The project editor also reviews draft standards or projects before the draft is approved as an official standard by the IEEE Standards Board. Draft standards are identified by the prefix “P”, which is the project symbol.
