Summary: Chadi invites Mary L (Nora) Disis (@DrNDisis), MD, editor-in-chief of Jama Oncology, to learn the ins-and-outs of what it takes to be the lead editor of a highly prestigious oncology journal. She shares what went into her decision to accept the editor-in-chief position and help launch the journal in 2015, what goes into her thought process for rejecting submissions and handling disgruntled authors, management and pain points of “content” and “statistical” peer-reviewers, thoughts on the oversaturation of poorly written COVID-19 papers published in high-impact journals, and plans for the future direction of the journal.
