JRHS Jr. Editor Position and Award


The JRHS team wishes to convey gratitude for the dedication and contributions of numerous Junior Editor volunteers. As a modest gesture of appreciation, we annually select two outstanding Junior Editors for the prestigious Junior Editor of the Year Award.


Over 80 young, talented, and dedicated students serve as junior editors, responsible for assessing manuscripts across various disciplines. The junior editors' evaluations are shared with senior reviewers at the time of manuscript assignment. The senior reviewers conduct independent evaluations of the manuscript, considering the input provided by the junior editors. Following this process, the editorial team collects all evaluations submitted by the senior reviewers and nominates 5 to 10 junior editors who have consistently received high evaluations for the Junior Editor of the Year award. 
 

The initial round of nominations is concluded in October, and the ultimate awardees are officially announced in April of the following year. Along with the honor, the award includes a $200 scholarship.
