APECS Canada and Arctic Science recognize the vital role played by ECRs in addressing the escalating challenges and rapid changes in polar regions and their global significance. Through this partnership, we aim to provide meaningful opportunities for ECRs while contributing to the cultivation of the next generation of polar researchers. 

Join the program!

The Early Career Scientist Reviewer Program aims to establish a database of ECRs in polar sciences who are interested in reviewing scientific manuscripts. Together, APECS Canada and Arctic Science are dedicated to nurturing a community of skilled and knowledgeable reviewers through this program. Join the program to: 

  • Gain valuable experience and skills in reviewing scientific manuscripts 

  • Enhance your understanding of the peer review and publishing processes 

  • Access training resources and participate in webinars and workshops 

  • Discover how Open Science initiatives can foster transparency and equity in polar research 

  • Play a vital role in advancing polar research by actively participating in the peer review process 

 

Arctic Science and APECS Canada will co-host an annual award for an outstanding ECR reviewer to be featured on both parties’ websites.
