The last date for nominations to the English for Specific Purposes Student Editorial Board will be Friday 11 September!

The English for Specific Purposes Student Editorial Board (SEB) is a new initiative which enables students to experience and participate directly in the peer-review process as well as garnering further insights into the behind-the-scenes processes that drive a modern academic journal. A key aspect of the SEB is that members will be required to work on at least one editorial review per year, in partnership with a ‘regular’ member of the Editorial Board.

Applications should be submitted in writing to the Co-Editor, Christine Feak at: cfeakumich.edu and should include the following:

- Full CV
- Letter of application
- Confirmation/Evidence of ongoing study at a relevant academic institution (NB students must have completed at least 2 years of a PhD program)
- Supporting letter from your academic supervisor

Please note the following terms of membership on the SEB:

- There will be four positions on the SEB, a number which may be enlarged in the future
- One-year term, which may be renewed by mutual agreement
- Minimum of one editorial review to be completed per year
- Members will be expected to provide feedback on the journal to the Editors/Publisher
- Feedback on reviews performed will be received from another ‘regular’ Editorial Board Member and from the Editor
- SEB Members will be invited and expected to attend the Editorial Board Meeting if able
- SEB Members must abide by the same conflict-of-interest and ethical standards as would regular Board Members in particular relating to confidentiality
- SEB members will be listed on the official Editorial Board page of the journal
