Algorithms | Special Issue Mentor Program
We are pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative—the Special Issue Mentor Program.
This program aims to provide an opportunity for early career scientists to enhance their editing, networking, and organizational skills as well as to work closely with our journal to gain more editorial experience. Early career scientists who have novel ideas for new Algorithms 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 Algorithms (ISSN: 1999-4893), from other well-established research institutes or laboratories, etc.
The mentee’s responsibilities include:
- 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;
- Writing an editorial for the online Special Issue;
- Reviewing and making decisions on submissions under the mentorship of our Editorial Board Members.
The mentor’s responsibilities include:
- Conducting a final check before the Special Issue is published online;
- Co-editing the Special Issue with younger scholars and performing quality control of the publications in the Special Issue;
- Providing suggestions to younger scholars if they have doubts or concerns regarding submissions;
- Organizing video calls with young scholars and the Editorial Office regularly to discuss problems and improvement suggestions for the Special Issue.
Certificates and awards:
After the Special Issue closes, the Editorial Office will provide official certificates for all the mentors and mentees. If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your Special Issue proposal to the Algorithms Editorial Office ([email protected]), 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, Algorithms continues to welcome all Special Issue proposals based on hot research topics as usual.
