In this unusual and challenging time of COVID-19 pandemic, various types of help are offered both by the individuals and organizations. The editors of the “e-mentor” academic journal also want to join this collective motion by providing editorial support and priority publishing track for doctoral students. We offer free of charge consultancy at the stage of creating the concept and structure of the scientific paper.  In three subsequent volumes of our journal (two in Polish and one entirely in English), the papers submitted by the PhD candidates will get the priority while undergoing the reviewing and editing process. Both Polish and international students may participate. Persons interested in getting free advice please contact us at redakcja@e-mentor.edu.pl. 

This special offer is valid from May the 5th till September the 30th 2020. 

To be eligible for this offer, a person should:

1.    Stick to the hints for the authors published on the journal website at http://www.e-mentor.edu.pl/strona/3/dla_autorow;

2.    Submit the paper using the submission form available at the same address;

3.    Provide a valid university affiliation (e.g., the name of the doctoral school) and the name of the scientific promoter (in the Additional comments field) while filling in the form.

The scientific papers to be included in the English volume should cover the issues which may be of interest to both the national and international scholarly audience. 

The first volume covered by this special offer will be published in July 2020. Only the papers submitted by May the 31st could be considered for publication in that volume. Submissions made after that date, but before September the 30th will be considered for inclusion in the next volumes on the first-come-first-served basis.

Editorial procedure

The papers submitted for publication must undergo the standard editorial procedure and be accepted by two independent reviewers. The articles of Ph.D. candidates will get priority over the other submissions. The hints for the authors could be found at http://www.e-mentor.edu.pl/strona/3/dla_autorow. Following the editorial requirements makes the procedures going smoothly and faster. 

When the paper is formally approved (compliance with the journal profile and thematic areas, its editorial requirements, and eligibility for promotion), the author will get the information whether the paper has been accepted for further procedure. After the reviewing process, we will provide detailed instructions on how to improve the article if necessary. At that stage, the author will not be allowed to withdraw his/her submission. 

There is no charge for publishing with “e-mentor.” The papers accepted for publication in the English volume can be prepared either in Polish or in English. The translation and/or proofreading costs will be covered from the project No 693/P-DUN/20I9 financed by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. For publication in the “e-mentor” journal, every author gains 20 points. The journal is indexed in the ESCI WoS database.
