The programme supports authors who are preparing work for submission to JCMSA and operates independently of the journal’s peer-review process and manuscript management system. If you are an early-career author seeking guidance, or an experienced academic wishing to mentor and give back, this programme may be of interest. To learn more, please review the programme overview and operational framework here. |
