Are you mentoring a doctoral student interested in learning the inner workings of scholarly publishing?
The Online Learning Journal (OLJ) is now offering a limited number of volunteer internship opportunities for PhD students who wish to gain first-hand experience with the academic publishing process.

Through weekly collaborative meetings with OLJ editors and staff, interns will:

  • Read and analyze research manuscripts prior to publication, focusing on the alignment of research questions, methods, and analysis.

  • Learn to identify and evaluate the qualities of high-impact scholarly writing.

  • Participate in editorial discussions about research design, rigor, and contribution to the field.

  • Contribute to written feedback provided to authors based on team evaluations.

This internship offers doctoral students a unique opportunity to:

  • Observe the full publication process from submission to editorial decision.

  • Strengthen their own research and writing skills.

  • Build connections with senior scholars and journal editors.

  • Gain valuable professional experience with the highest-ranked journal in the field of online learning.
