We are pleased to announce the launch of a new initiative, the Special Issue Mentor Program.

This program intends to provide an opportunity for early career scientists (new faculty, postdoc graduate students, etc.) to enhance their editing, networking, and organizational skills, and to work closely with our journal to gain more editorial experience. Early career scientists who have novel ideas for new /GPD/ Special Issues will act as Guest Editors under the mentorship of an experienced scientist; this mentor could be a member from well-established research institutes or laboratories, etc.

If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your Special Issue proposal to the /GPD/ Editorial Office (gpd.office@accscience.sg), and we will discuss the process (i.e., mentor collaboration, Special Issue topic feasibility analysis, etc.) in further detail.

In addition to the new Special Issue Mentor Program, /GPD/ will continually welcome all Special Issue proposals based on hot research topics as usual.
