Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, is seeking professional researchers to guide students through the process of publishing research. 

Those who volunteer will be mentor-reviewers for pre-collegiate students who submit research manuscripts to Sigma Xi's new journal, Chronicle of The New Researcher.

CTNR is an online, open-access journal exclusively for pre-collegiate students to publish their research results.

The time and effort of mentor-reviewers will make a difference in the careers of these students. Mentor-reviewers will help them understand how to use experimental methods, document findings, write in a way that is appropriate for scientific publication, and use feedback.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor-reviewer, please e-mail ctnr@sigmaxi.org. Membership in Sigma Xi is not required.

Chronicle of The New Researcher is supported with generous funds from DIRECTV.
