Participate in a conversation about early career researchers and scholarly communication:

Are you someone who recently (in the last 5 years) started a biomedical faculty position? Are you an “Assistant Professor'“, or in an equivalent position? If so, Annual Reviews wants to hear from you.

Annual Reviews would like to hear about your experiences as a reader and brainstorm ways that they, and scholarly publishing in general, might better serve the needs of early career researchers in the future. They are looking for early career biomedical faculty, at the Assistant Professor (i.e. tenure-track equivalent) level, who began their research group within the last 5 years, to join a moderated online discussion about the role of review articles within scholarly communication and their relevance to earlier career audiences. They would like to hear about your experiences as a reader and brainstorm ways that Annual Reviews, and scholarly publishing in general, might better serve the needs of early career researchers in the future.
