The ASA-CSSA-SSSA Peer Review Mentorship Program is a small, selective program designed to provide hands-on peer review training over the course of six months. Accepted applicants will be paired with an experienced mentor in their field and will be guided through the process of reviewing for an ASA-CSSA-SSSA journal. The program is free of charge, but mentees are required to be ASA, CSSA, and/or SSSA members at the time of application. Potential candidates are early-career professionals (graduate students or post-docs) with little to no prior peer-reviewing experience. Ideal candidates will have some experience with academic publishing from an author perspective.
Early career members may apply during two application windows per year. Please note that acceptance will be limited based on the program size and available mentor pool, but suitable applicants who are not accepted will be invited to reapply.
If you have any questions regarding your application, please contact the program organizer, Richard Easby, at reasby@sciencesocieties.org or 703-635-5587.
