JAFSCD Author Mentor Program Application for Assistance

The goal of the JAFSCD Author Mentor Program is to provide less experienced and limited resource researchers or professionals with no-cost, short-term technical assistance in preparing a submission to the Journal of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Community Development (JAFSCD).

General advice in focusing the topic
Modest editorial help— sentence clarity and logic
Assistance in submitting the draft to JAFSCD

CAREFULLY NOTE: Before completing this survey, be sure you have exhausted all other sources of support -- experienced authors you may know, a professor, a writing workshop at your institution, etc.
