Axioms | Special Issue Mentor Program

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative—the Special Issue Mentor Program. 

This program intends to provide an opportunity for early career scientists to enhance their editing, networking, and organizational skills and to work closely with our journal to gain more editorial experience. Early career scientists who have novel ideas for new Axioms Special Issues will act as Guest Editors under the mentorship of an experienced scientist; this mentor could be a member of the Editorial Board of Axioms (ISSN: 2075-4442) or could be from other well-established research institutes or laboratories, etc.

The mentee’s responsibilities include the following:

• Providing a CV, including a list of publications;
• Proposing a Special Issue title and a short introduction;
• Writing a brief promotion plan for the Special Issue;
• Reviewing and making decisions for submissions under the mentorship of our Editorial Board Members. 

The mentor’s responsibilities include the following:

• Conducting a final check before the Special Issue is published online;
• Co-editing the Special Issue with the mentee and performing quality control of the publications in the Special Issue;
• Providing suggestions to the mentee if they have doubts or concerns regarding submissions.

Certificates and awards:

When a Special Issue is closed, the Axioms Editorial Office will provide official certificates for all the mentors and mentees involved. The mentees will be prioritized as candidates for Axioms Young Investigator Awards in future editions.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your Special Issue proposal to the Axioms Editorial Office (axioms@mdpi.com), and we will discuss the process (mentor collaboration, Special Issue topic feasibility analysis, etc.) in further detail.

In addition to the new Special Issue Mentor Program, Axioms continues to welcome all Special Issue proposals based on hot research topics, as usual.
