CJCO Trainee Initiatives
1. Journal Trainee Reviewer (open for all trainees) - Applications open
CJC Journals have an exciting new opportunity for trainees who wish to become a journal reviewer but missed their chance to become a 2023-2024 trainee reviewer through the CCS application process. We are now accepting applications year round! This opportunity is open to all trainees, provided they have a mentor with CCS membership and who has prior reviewing experience at a CJC Journal. This is a new project that the journal is piloting for the next year. While CCS trainee membership is not essential for this process, it is highly recommended. Click here to find out more about the benefits offered for CCS trainee members.
Responsibilities and expectations:
- Timely and high-quality review of manuscripts. This entails:
- Assessing manuscripts for content, quality, and relevance for publication in the journal.
- Preparing a written evaluation of the manuscript and a recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief regarding suitability for publication.
Trainees must provide a copy of their CV, a letter of intent, and a letter from their mentor to apply.
