Editorial
NQHR March 2019
This edition of the Netherlands Quarterly of Human Rights discusses two upgrades to the publi-
cation process, announces several changes to both our International Editorial Board and Editorial
Team, and introduces the content of our March 2019 issue.
The NQHR Executive Board is grateful for the opportunities provided by our publisher, SAGE,
to ensure that our journal is functioning in an ethical, transparent and fair manner. In particular, as
of this year, the NQHR is part of the ORCID iD integration. The Open Researcher and Contributor
iDs are unique and persistent digital identifiers that distinguish researchers from every other
researcher. By connecting this iD to different research activities and affiliations, ORCID helps
researchers gain recognition for their work. In addition, as of October 2018 the NQHR has been
integrated in Publons. This enables peer reviewers to track, verify and showcase their review
contributions. As reviewers’ contributions are essential for ensuring the highest quality scholarship
of our journal, the Board is very pleased that they can now get the recognition they deserve.
In light of the importance of reviewers’ contributions to our journal, the NQHR Executive
Board wishes to express its enduring gratitude to our International Editorial Board members for
their continuous contribution to the NQHR through insightful and detailed reviews. We are also
pleased to announce that Karin de Vries has joined our International Editorial Board. Karin is an
Associate Professor of Constitutional and Administrative Law at the Vrije Universiteit Amster-
dam. She is currently working on a project called ‘Equality for non-nationals? Nationality dis-
crimination as a new challenge for non-discrimination law’ funded by a VENI-grant from the
Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). For this project she investigates the role
of nationality in non-discrimination law, using insights from political theory and legal philosophy
as well as legal research into case law and legislation. Her expertise relates to immigration law,
human rights law, non-discrimination law and citizenship law. The special subject expertise of
Karin further expands the scope of expertise of our International Editorial Board. We welcome
Karin de Vries and look forward to the collaboration.
The NQHR Executive Board also warmly welcomes new Managing Editor Elif Erken, SIM-
Fellow and PhD candidate at Utrecht University, whose research examines the national imple-
mentation of the European Convention on Human Rights, focusing in particular on enhancing the
role of organised civil society actors and national human rights institutes in this process. She
succeeded Leonie Huijbers on 1 February 2019. The Executive Board expresses its sincere gra-
titude to Leonie for her dedication to the journal and for having ensured the continued smooth
running of all its editorial processes. The Board wishes her success in all future endeavo urs,
including the completion of her doctoral research on process-based review in fundamental rights
cases. Furthermore, our journal would not run as efficiently as it does without the valuable work of
our executive assistants, who edit each contribution to our journal. The Board would sincerely like
to thank Marijn Hilbrands and Danie¨l Slotboom for their previous contribution to the journal, and
