Announcements

We are delighted 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 and work closely with our journal to gain more editorial experience. Early career scientists who have novel ideas for new Special Issues in Magnetism (ISSN 2673-8724) will act as Guest Editors under the mentorship of an experienced scientist. This mentor could be a member of the Magnetism Editorial Board or may be from other well-established research institutes or laboratories, etc.

Early career scientist’s responsibilities:

• 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 for submissions under the mentorship of our Editorial Board Members.

Mentor’s responsibilities:

• 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 office regularly to discuss problems and improvement suggestions for the Special Issue.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your Special Issue proposal to the Magnetism Editorial Office ([email protected]) and we will discuss the process (i.e., mentor collaboration, Special Issue topic feasibility analysis, etc.) in further detail. When the Special Issue is closed, our office will provide certificates to all of the mentors and to those who complete the program. 

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