2023 Editorial Scholars Program

The Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) and Oxford University Press are pleased to announce the inaugural recipients of the Neuro-Oncology Editorial Scholars Program. The Editorial Scholars Program seeks to enhance the skills of early-career faculty interested in pursuing an editorial role in scientific publishing and to expand the pool of qualified peer reviewers for the Society’s affiliated journals (Neuro-Oncology, Neuro-Oncology Advances, and Neuro-Oncology Practice). The program also offers an introduction to the journals’ production and post-publication activities. The broader goal of the program is to increase exposure to, involvement in, and commitment to the journals' peer-review process, ethical considerations, editing, and publishing of medical research manuscripts among early-stage researchers.

The Editorial Scholars will participate in (2) two virtual training sessions as part of the program. The first session will review the journal’s history, the publication process, and the team’s responsibilities (e.g., COPE guidelines for authors, reviewers, confidentiality, timeliness, ethical issues and integrity, diversity and inclusion, and metrics). Session two will introduce the peer review process, the assessment of the quality of a manuscript, and the impact on the field. The final training process will take place in person on November 15, 2023, at the SNO Annual Meeting at the Vancouver Convention Center. The in-person session will give the scholars the opportunity to hear from senior editors in the field and participate in a one-on-one workshop.

The Society for Neuro-Oncology (SNO) is committed to supporting the next generation of researchers and scholars, and the Editorial Scholars program is just one of the ways we are fulfilling that commitment to its mission.

SNO is also committed to making diversity, equity, and inclusion a critical part of our educational initiatives—in our journals, conferences, and online courses.
