ASNR and AJNR are pleased to join efforts with other imaging-related journals and their scientific societies that have training programs on editorial aspects for trainees or junior staff (3-5 years after training) such as Radiology (Olmsted fellowship), AJR (Figley and Rogers fellowships [USA and international respectively), and Radiologia (from Spain).
Goals:
- Increase interest in "editorial" and publication-related activities in younger individuals.
- Increase understanding and participation in the AJNR review process.
- Incorporate into AJNR's Editorial Board younger individuals who have previous experience in the review and publication process.
- Fill a specific need in Neuroradiology not offered by other similar fellowships.
- Increase the relationship between "newer" generations of Neuroradiologists and more established individuals.
- Increase visibility of AJNR among younger Neuroradiologists.
Activities of the "fellowship":
- Serve as "Junior Editor" for one year. This individual will be listed on the masthead as "Editorial Fellow) and will receive a certificate stating his/her activities at the end of the service period.
- Review at least one manuscript per month for 12 months. Evaluate all review articles submitted to AJNR. Access to our electronic manuscript review system will be granted so that the candidate can learn how these systems work.
