Humans | Special Issue Mentor Program

We are delighted 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 Special Issues to be published in Humans (ISSN 2673-9461) will act as Guest Editors under the mentorship of an experienced scientist; this mentor could be a member of the Humans Editorial Board or from other well-established research institutes or laboratories, etc.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your Special Issue proposal to the Humans Editorial Office (humans@mdpi.com), 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. Younger scholars will be prioritized as candidates for our journal award.

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