Getting the opportunity to be a part of the JPET Editorial Fellowship program has been extremely engaging and an excellent learning experience to better understand a critical, yet often hidden, part of the academic research realm. Being a part of this mentored program has allowed for both unique one-on-one mentorship with Associate Editors of JPET and collaborative projects for the journal with other Editorial Fellows. This program allows for “behind-the-scenes” access to a process normally shrouded in confusion and unknowns, yielding robust and considerate future reviewers. I highly recommend this program for anyone interested in scientific publishing and the collegial practice of peer review.

It was a great honor to be a 2023 JPET editorial fellow because I learned how a transparent review system works. In addition, I learned from other reviewers' comments how to improve my view of manuscripts and provide important decisions. Lastly, I am grateful to Dr. Lash’s timely feedback on my review comments for each manuscript and his training.
