YEC Editorial Board Call for Doctoral Student Reviewers & Doctoral Reviewer Mentors
Call for Doctoral Student Reviewers
DEC’s Young Exceptional Children (YEC) journal is continuing our
tradition of supporting doctoral students with opportunities to serve as
journal reviewers. This experience will prepare doctoral students to
engage in meaningful and respectful reviews of submissions to YEC.
Through mentorship from current YEC reviewers, doctoral Students will
learn to critically evaluate manuscripts, write informative reviews for
editors and authors, and make recommendations for publication. Each
member of the doctoral student guest reviewer board must have a
faculty mentor who commits to guiding the doctoral student’s
development as a reviewer. After successful review experiences, doctoral
students will become regular guest reviewers for YEC.
Call for Doctoral Review Mentors
Many of our doctoral students do not have access to a faculty mentor in
their own programs. Many of our YEC reviewers many not have doctoral
students to mentor. Therefore, we are asking for volunteers to mentor
doctoral students outside of their program.
