• Professor Søren Asmussen, Editor-in-Chief (2005 - 2015)
• Professor Peter Glynn, Editor-in-Chief (2016 - 2018)
• Professor Peter Taylor, Editor-in-Chief (2019 - present)
• Professor Nicole Bäuerle, Deputy Editor-in-Chief (2022 - present)

The APT board of trustees decided who holds the position of Editor-in-Chief.
