EJDR is the official journal of EADI. Since the mid 2010s, it has been promoting a special submission stream for scholars with the aim of providing a forum for the publication of original and high-quality research by academics that are early in their research career.

Producing publishable research requires the understanding of the journal peer-review and publication process, and of the requirements for the preparation of papers to abide by EJDR’s standards in terms of content, and to follow EJDR’s instructions for authors in terms of form.

EJDR’s Early Career Researcher initiative has been designed to assist with the understanding of the process through a ‘supported learning’ submissions route for early careers authors that consists of an initial internal EJDR feedback on the manuscript to ensure the paper is strong, and that should it eventually be sent out for double-blind peer review, it will be assessed on its merit by reviewers.

The EJDR editors will present the initiative and answer questions from the participants.

Early career scholars attending the EADI-IOB Conference are especially invited.
