Botany is delighted to announce the creation of an Early Career Researcher (ECR) Editorial Board and introduce the inaugural cohort of ECR editors to the journal.
Following the success of similar programs at other Canadian Science Publishing journals, including Arctic Science, FACETS, and the Canadian Journal of Fisheries & Aquatic Science, the newly appointed ECR members will begin a 2-year term under the guidance of Botany’s Editors-in-Chief and associate editors. In addition to gaining valuable experience in handling manuscripts and peer review synthesis, ECR board members will contribute to the journal through promotion, journal ambassadorship, and the development of new initiatives.
At the conclusion of their 2-year term, ECR editors will have the opportunity to formally transition to become associate editors of the Botany editorial board, building on the skills and experiences gained during their term as ECR Editors.
