Call for Early Career Reviewers!
Engineering and Computational Mechanics is pleased to announce the creation of an Early Career Reviewer Board.
About the journal
ENCM publishes original research papers, briefing articles, book reviews, and editorials on numerical and computational analysis of applied mechanics.
Mechanics has long played a crucial role in engineering, and with the need to treat ever more complex systems and constructions, its role is arguably more important than ever. From the construction of new high-speed rail lines in the UK, to the upgrade of century old water systems in India, to the design of subsea being executed across the world, stimulating the demand for effective and reliable analysis and design methods.
The journal publishes refereed papers and short contributions on fundamental applied mechanics in civil engineering. Practically oriented papers are particularly welcome. Papers describing analytical or computational methods, including source code when appropriate, are also very welcome.
The role of the Early Career Reviewer
As strong believers in positive change and impact, ENCM has decided to develop an Early Career Reviewer Board (ECRB) to give Early Career Researchers the means to participate within a journal publishing environment and to be involved in developing ENCM for the community along with the Editor, Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members.
Selected applicants will be appointed to the ECRB for 3 years, after which there may be the opportunity to be appointed to the Editorial Board in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief. Each successful member will be expected to review 3 to 4 new papers per year. There will be an introductory meeting to discuss the publication process and any questions. Training will be provided for the journal’s submission system, ReView, by the Peer Review Editor.
Applications
Please email the Editor ([email protected]) with a statement (no more than 400 words) on why you would like to work on ENCM and what you can bring to the journal, along with a copy of a two-page CV. Please do also include the following in your application:
- Mention of your primary areas of research and/or professional expertise
- LinkedIn account (if applicable)
- Google Scholar (if applicable)
- ORCID ID
Early Career Researchers are those who have up to eight years since they earned their doctoral degree (excluding career breaks).
