Albert L. Baert Editorial Fellowships 2025

The European Radiology Private Foundation announces the Albert L. Baert Editorial Fellowship in 2025.

This editorial fellowship programme is hosted and conducted by the Editor-in-Chief of European Radiology, Prof. Bernd Hamm, and aims to provide training in editorial skills, such as manuscript evaluation, manuscript editing, organisation of peer review, manuscript production and publishing, including electronic publication.

Details

The fellowship will consist of an onsite introductory meeting at the office of the Editor-in-Chief, and will be followed by a remote training programme. During the onsite stay the fellow will receive a basic personal training and gain insight into the work of an Editor in the following areas:

• Handling new manuscripts
• Handling revised/resubmitted manuscripts
• Inviting reviewers for a first review
• Making the first decision
• Making final acceptance decisions
• Reviewing

Upon completion of the onsite training, the fellow will continue working remotely on their manuscripts, thereby being involved in all stages of a manuscript’s lifetime. At the end of the fellowship period, the candidate will remain as a reviewer for the journal.

Among all applicants, two fellows will be selected. Both will be awarded €2,250 to cover expenses and will receive free registration to ECR 2025, and an invitation to join the ESR Journals Editorial Board Meeting.
