Abstract:
The Journal of Experimental Botany is pleased to announce the appointment of six early career researchers as editorial interns: Francesca Bellinazzo (Wageningen University and Research, the Netherlands), Konan Ishida (University of Cambridge, UK), Nishat Shayala Islam (Western University, Ontario, Canada), Chao Su (University of Freiburg, Germany), Catherine Walsh (Lancaster University, UK), and Arpita Yadav (University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA, USA) (Fig. 1). The aim of this programme is to help train the next generation of editors.Each intern has been paired with one of our Associate Editors as a mentor, who will guide them through all aspects of the editorial process for selected manuscripts: initial editorial assessment, selection of reviewers, and evaluation of the reviews to reach a decision. The strict rules of editorial confidentiality will apply at all times, and the final decision on each manuscript will remain the sole responsibility of the Associate Editor. Our interns will also be invited to write Insight commentaries on selected papers and contribute to the journal’s social media output.
