IJGC Editorial Fellowship Program
The Editorial Team at the International Journal of Gynecological Cancer is offering two 5-month Editorial Fellowships from February-June 2024 and July-November 2024 for all those interested in learning about the processing of manuscript submission, peer-review analysis, revisions, and ultimately production and publication, as well as journal management and strategy.
This experience will match the Editorial Fellow with the Editor-in-Chief, and together they will work to assure for a very positive and productive learning experience.
