The premier journal of vascular and interventional radiology

JVIR Editor-in-chief Daniel Y. Sze, MD, PhD, FSIR, is pleased to announce that Special Projects Editor Ziv J Haskal, MD, FSIR, will offer his editorial fellowship again in 2021. The sessions will be conducted in late fall, most likely as a virtual opportunity, with the dates to be announced soon.

The fellowship is intended for attending IRs with an interest in academic publishing, writing and reviewing, as demonstrated by their authored research, journal reviews or other demonstrated efforts. This intensive program will quickly boost the attendees' abilities in drafting and designing their own studies and manuscripts, improving their abilities as critical readers and reviewers, and defining potential pathways to larger ongoing editorial opportunities within JVIR and academic publishing. The fellows can expect to review, discuss and edit at least 25–30 manuscripts, assign new reviewers, render editorial decisions, review cases of publishing misconduct and so forth. 

To apply, please email the following materials to SIR Director of Publications Brian Haefs (bhaefs@sirweb.org) no later than Friday, Aug. 20, 2021.

• A single page with the applicant’s name, position, institution and contact information that lists in bullet format his/her accomplishments in writing, editing, serving on editorial boards for medical journals and other related items
• A current curriculum vitae
• A written statement describing how the fellowship relates to the applicant’s career goals
• A letter from the applicant’s chair or group president expressing support for the applicant and agreeing to release the fellow for the time necessary to complete the activities
