Who may apply?

Applications may be considered from postgraduate students, early-career researchers, faculty members, clinicians, pharmacists, veterinarians and other researchers whose background is relevant to QES Academic Press or its journals. Individual pathways may have additional eligibility criteria.

How applications are assessed

Selection may consider academic background, subject expertise, current research activity, statement of interest, prior reviewing experience where applicable, availability and the fit between an applicant’s goals and the available program pathway. Submission of an application does not guarantee selection.

Recognition

Where a pathway includes formal completion criteria, QES Academic Press may provide a participation or completion record. Recognition should reflect documented participation and competence rather than a particular manuscript recommendation or publication outcome.

Editorial independence: participation in a researcher-development activity does not guarantee manuscript acceptance, editorial-board appointment, reviewer assignment, indexing, citations or any publication outcome.
