Join the Editorial Board
This is an opportunity for you to begin your editorial career at a respected international journal, owned by two of the world’s largest endocrine societies: Society for Endocrinology and European Society of Endocrinology.
Join the Endocrine Connections Editorial Board as an expert referee, and review papers within your specialist subject area. Participation in this role will help raise your profile and increase your understanding of the publishing process, whilst facilitating the publication of high-impact and open-access endocrine research from around the world.
Responsibilities
As a member of the Endocrine Connections Editorial Board you will be asked to review papers within an agreed timeframe, applying your subject expertise to provide a thorough and constructive critique.
