We are pleased to announce that the Journal of Intelligence (ISSN: 2079-3200) is now inviting nominations for a new initiative—the Special Issue Mentor Program.

This program aims to provide an opportunity for early career scientists to enhance their editing, networking, and organizational skills and to work closely with our journal to gain more editorial experience. Early career scientists who have novel ideas for new Special Issues will act as Guest Editors under the mentorship of an experienced scientists; the mentor could be a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Intelligence or from other well-established research institutes or laboratories, etc.

The mentee’s responsibilities include:

• Providing a CV, including a list of publications, grant information, etc.;
• Proposing a Special Issue title and a short concept;
• Writing a brief promotion plan for the Special Issue;
• Writing an editorial for the online Special Issue;
• Reviewing and making decisions for submissions under the guidance of the mentors.

The mentor’s responsibilities include:

• Conducting a final check before the Special Issue is published online;
• Co-editing the Special Issue with younger researchers and performing quality control of publications;
• Organizing video calls with young scholars and the office regularly to discuss problems and improvement suggestions for the Special Issue.

Certificates and awards:

When the Special Issue is closed, the Editorial Office will provide official certificates for all the mentors. The younger scholars will be prioritized as candidates for the Journal of Intelligence Young Investigator Awards in future editions.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your Special Issue proposal to the journal Editorial Office ([email protected]), and we will discuss the process (mentor collaboration, Special Issue topic feasibility analysis, etc.) in further detail.
