Call for Early Career Reviewers!

Forensic Engineering (FOEN) is pleased to announce the creation of an Early Career Reviewer Board.

About the journal

FOEN publishes original practice and research papers, briefing articles, book reviews, and editorials exploring the studies of constructed facilities and systems that fail to perform as intended, resulting in environmental, property, personal or economic damage.

The papers describe their investigation, assessment and remediation, with a focus on forensic method. Physical issues surround serviceability or critical limit-state damage, which may be caused by normal or exceptional actions, natural events, human actions, accidents, or inadequately conceived or executed design, construction, validation, operation, maintenance, modification, decommissioning, temporary works or innovation. 

The journal addresses also the wider systems issues of climate change, commercial and contractual management, dispute resolution, research and education, and their impacts. State-of-the art papers, research reports and practical case studies are welcome, as well as shorter briefing articles and discussion contributions.

The role of the Early Career Reviewer

As strong believers in positive change and impact, FOEN 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 FOEN for the community along with the Editor, Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members.

Selected applicants will be appointed to the ECRB for 2 years, after which there may be the opportunity to be appointed to the Editorial Board in consultation with the Editor-in-Chief. Each successful member will be expected to review 3 to 4 new papers per year. Guidance will be provided for the journal’s submission system, ReView.
