Call for Early Career Reviewers!

International Journal of Lean Six Sigma

International Journal of Lean Six Sigma is pleased to announce the creation of an Early Career Reviewer Board.

About the journal

International Journal of Lean Six Sigma (IJLSS) bridges the gap between the theory and practice of Lean and Six Sigma and publishes the latest trends and research developments in both fields.

Launched in 2010, IJLSS publishes original, empirical and review papers, case studies and theoretical frameworks or models related to Lean and Six Sigma methodologies. High quality submissions are sought from academics, researchers, practitioners and leading management consultants from around the world. Research, case studies and examples can be cited from manufacturing, service and public sectors. This includes manufacturing, health, financial services, local government, education, professional services, IT Services, transport, etc.

The role of the Early Career Reviewer

As strong believers in positive change and impact, IJLSS has decided to develop an Early Career Reviewer Board (ECRB) to give Early Career Researchers the means to participate within a journal publishing environment and to be involved in developing IJLSS for the community along with the Editor and Editorial Board Members.

Selected applicants will be appointed to the ECRB for 3 years, after which there may be the opportunity to be appointed to the Editorial Board in consultation with the Editors. Each successful member will be expected to review 3 to 4 new papers per year. There will be an introductory meeting to discuss the publication process and any questions. Training will be provided for the journal’s submission system, ScholarOne.
