About the role

Gifted and Talented International (GTI) is looking for Associate Editors and Peer Reviewers with expertise in the giftedness, talent, and creativity in children, adolescents, and adults. Publication topics vary from gifted education to giftedness through the lifespan.

Becoming an editor is a rewarding and fulfilling experience where you have the opportunity to develop and promote the research in your field and be recognized as a leading figure within the academic community.

The peer review process is a fundamental part of research publishing. It’s a way of ensuring only articles of the highest quality that contribute meaningfully to the field are published. The process involves both the journal editors and independent expert reviewers, who evaluate the submitted articles.

Peer reviewers are intrinsic to the publication process and upholding this role is a wonderful opportunity to boost your own networks, sharpen your expertise, and contribute immensely to a journal and therapeutic area.

GTI is published on behalf of the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children.
