Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology | Special Issue Mentor Program

We are pleased to announce that the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology (JFMK, ISSN: 2411-5142) is now inviting nominations for 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 Special Issues will act as Guest Editors under the mentorship of experienced scientists; the mentors could be members of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology or be from other well-established research institutes or laboratories, etc. 

The mentee’s responsibilities include:

  • Providing a CV, including a list of publications, grant information, etc.;
  • Proposing a Special Issue title and a short concept;
  • Writing a brief promotion plan for the Special Issue;
  • Writing an editorial for the online Special Issue;
  • Reviewing and making decisions for submissions under the guidance of the mentors. 

The mentor’s responsibilities include:

  • Conducting a final check before the Special Issue is published online;
  • Co-editing the Special Issue with younger researchers and performing quality control of publications;
  • Organizing regular video calls with young scholars and the Editorial Office to discuss problems and improvement suggestions for the Special Issue. 

Certificates and awards:

When the Special Issue is closed, the Editorial Office will provide official certificates for all of the mentors. 

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your Special Issue proposal to the JFMK Editorial Office ([email protected]), and we will discuss the process (mentor collaboration, Special Issue topic feasibility analysis, etc.) in further detail.
