With over 20,000 subscribers, Journal of Marital and Family
Therapy (JMFT) is the best known and most influential family therapy
journal in the world. Maintaining JMFT as a scholarly journal of the
highest quality depends on reviewers with a high level of expertise
and an ability to be objective, balanced, and insightful in their
evaluation of the work of others. To this end, I am always
interested in identifying graduate students with these qualities and
who are willing to volunteer as interns making the commitment to
assist the journal’s associate editors and me as we review articles
for JMFT.
If you would like to be considered as a JMFT intern, please
complete the online Intern
Information Sheet and send the
completed information sheet, along with your current curriculum
vitae, as attached files to
jmft@nsu.nova.edu. Upon receipt, the associate editors and I
will review your credentials and let you know our decision as soon
as it is rendered.
If you are selected to join our editorial community, you will be
expected to assist with the reviewing 1 to 2 new manuscripts a year,
in addition to resubmissions. You will be asked via e-mail by an
associate editor or me whether or not you are willing to assist with
the review of a specific manuscript. In the email we will outline
the tasks we will need for you to accomplish and a timeline. If you
accept, you will work with us throughout the reviewing process so
you can learn the steps involved in reading manuscripts and reviews,
rendering editorial decisions, revising manuscripts, and
communicating with authors. We think this will be an excellent
experience for graduate students and aspiring academics who wish to
learn more about scholarly journals and manuscript development.
If you have any questions regarding this opportunity, please let
me know. I look forward to hearing from you!
