CALL FOR NOMINATIONS Child Maltreatment: The Journal of the American Professional Society on the Abuse of Children is seeking nominations of outstanding graduate students, interns, or fellows to serve as members of a new student reviewer section which will be adjunctive to the CM Editorial Board. The section will be chaired by Bette L. Bottoms, Ph.D., and will provide students an opportunity to gain experience in the scientific peer review and publication processes. Student review section members will provide anonymous manuscript reviews under the supervision of a faculty mentor or a mentor from the CM Editorial Board. When co-signed by the faculty or Board mentor, these reviews will be included in the journal's decision and feedback process, and comments will be forwarded to authors. As with all CM reviewers, students then will receive anonymous copies of all other reviews done on the manuscript so that they may compare their analysis and comments with those of recognized experts in the field. Student section members are encouraged to attend and participate in Editorial Board meetings and discussions, but will not serve as Board members. Applications are encouraged from students of diverse backgrounds and diverse professional disciplines, including psychology, social work, medicine, law, criminal justice, and other areas related to child maltreatment. A total of six students will be selected to serve two-year terms. Applications should include: * A cover letter from the student indicating his or her interest in serving * A 1-2 page statement from the student detailing his or her background and interest in the field of child abuse and neglect and career plans * A sealed nomination letter from the designated faculty or Editorial Board mentor indicating: * His or her evaluation of the student's qualifications * His or her commitment to work with the student in reviewing manuscripts, preparing comments and co-signing recommendations * A copy of the student's vita * A copy of the faculty or Editorial Board mentor's vita. The deadline for applications is April 1, 1999. Applications or inquiries should be made to: Bette L. Bottoms, Ph.D. Univ. of Illinois at Chicago Department of Psychology 1007 West Harrison St. Chicago, Illinois 60607 - 7137 e-mail: bbottoms@xxxxxxx
