Program Overview
The JSCAI Editorial Fellowship Program aims to increase involvement in and commitment to the journal peer-review process amongst early-career researchers by providing fellows-in-training and early-career interventionalists with an opportunity to enhance their skills as reviewers of manuscripts.
Paired with an editor specific to their area of interest, JSCAI Editorial Fellows work with JSCAI Deputy and Associate Editors who have extensive editorial and publishing experience, are introduced to JSCAI editorial procedures, and receive training on the peer review system.
During the program, JSCAI Editorial Fellows review up to 12 manuscripts over the one-year term and attend JSCAI Editorial Board calls, as required to discuss their reviewed manuscripts. In addition, they present reports on what they have learned and how they anticipate this will support their career progression at the program's conclusion and are recognized as JSCAI Editorial Reviews at SCAI Scientific Sessions and SCAI Fellows Courses.

*SCAI defines an early career interventionalist as six years (or fewer) out of board exams.

Please note this in your application statement.
