EPJ Techniques and Instrumentation
EPJ Techniques and Instrumentation works in close collaboration with the EPS Young Minds Action Committee to create meaningful opportunities for early-career researchers in scientific publishing.
Early-career researchers serve as Associate Editors alongside experienced Editors-in-Chief. With guidance and dedicated training, they gain practical experience across the publication lifecycle, including selecting reviewers, assessing referee reports, communicating with authors and recommending editorial decisions.
- Develop hands-on editorial and peer-review experience.
- Strengthen scientific communication, organisation and decision-making skills.
- Build an international professional network.
- Contribute fresh perspectives to a high-quality open-access physics journal.
