AJPE Reviewer Mentorship Program (RMP)

The American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education (AJPE) is launching a pilot manuscript reviewer mentorship program. The AJPE Reviewer Mentorship Program (RMP) is a free, year-long mentorship program, designed to provide an interactive “hands on” approach to manuscript reviewer training. The core objectives of this program are to improve reviewer quality and increase reviewer quantity to benefit the scholarship and literature in the Academy.

How does the RMP benefit me?

Mentees

  • Increase your manuscript reviewing and writing skills
  • Network with colleagues across AACP
  • Gain exposure and increase opportunities to review manuscripts
  • Be recognized on social media and other platforms
  • Receive a certificate of completion at the AACP Annual Meeting

Mentors

  • Help advance the profession and quality scholarship
  • Network with colleagues across AACP
  • Be recognized on social media and other platforms
  • Receive a certificate of completion at the AACP Annual Meeting

Who Can Join the RMP?

AACP members who wish to increase their manuscript reviewing skills.


Program Timeline

  • Step 1: July: Initial in-person meeting at AACP Annual Meeting

All program participants will be invited to a 60-minute meet-n-greet session at AACP’s Annual Meeting in July to welcome the incoming cohort. Mentors and Mentees will meet their partner(s), review program expectations, participate in networking activities and hear from the AJPE Editorial Advisory Board members who developed the program. Mentors and Mentees will have the opportunity to set up monthly meetings; each pair is expected to meet at least once a month until program completion.

  • Step 2: July - August: Elsevier Researcher Academy

Mentees will complete a free 3-hour self-paced reviewer training program with certification. It is designed to give those who have never peer-reviewed a manuscript as well as those who feel they would like additional training in this area the skills and confidence to accept and complete a review. This step is mandatory for mentees and encouraged but not required for mentors.

  • Step 3: September - February: Web of Science Academy

Mentors and Mentees will register for a free account to enroll in the Web of Science’s co-reviewing courses, following the respective modules for mentors and mentees. During these courses, Mentor and Mentee pairs will meet (virtually or in-person) independently to complete the “co-reviewing with a mentor” module.

  • Step 4: March - July: AJPE Capstone Project

Mentee and Mentor pairs work together on a “Capstone Project” in which the Mentee reviews two actual AJPE submissions along with other editor/reviewer-related responsibilities (eg, reach out to potential reviewers). AJPE will provide blind copies of good examples of papers/reviews prior to the Mentee beginning their Capstone. The Mentor determines whether their Mentee successfully completes each step of the RMP. After completion of the AJPE Capstone Project, the Mentee will become an RMP graduate.

  • Step 5: July: Recognition and Certification at AACP Annual Meeting

Mentees who graduate will be recognized across AACP and AJPE social channels and receive a certificate at the subsequent AACP Annual Meeting.


Mentee Application Process

AACP members who are interested in becoming a mentee for the upcoming RMP should fill out this survey to submit your application. Applications are due by June 15, 2022. A limited number of mentees will be accepted into the 2022-23 cohort. The program coordinators will extend an invitation to those accepted into the program by July 8, 2022.

For more information and general inquiries, email AJPERMP@ajpe.org.

AACP members will have the opportunity to learn more about the program at AACP’s Annual Meeting by visiting the AJPE booth and attending the program informational session.
