Journal of Postdoctoral Affairs is conceived as an international platform for addressing conceptual and practical issues that pertain to the foundations and contexts of the postdoctoral experience. Analyses of the future, present and past of the postdoctoral appointments from social, educational, economic, political and psychological viewpoints will all be gathered under the umbrella of this journal. Shorter opinion articles and letters as well as longer research and critical review papers will be considered for publication.This interdisciplinary peer-reviewed online forum will serve the purpose of disseminating the opinion of current and former postdoctoral scholars, their faculty advisors, postdoctoral policy analysts, administrators and labor affair specialists. The selection of publishable articles will be based on a rigorous peer-review process conducted by an expert editorial team. The inaugural issue of the journal is planned to be launched by the end of 2010.
