Call for volunteers

Are you a native speaker of French, German or Spanish?

The International Journal of Educational and Vocational Guidance is continually in need of volunteers to translate article abstracts. We are currently in need of additional volunteers who can translate English-language abstracts into French, German and Spanish. Typically, volunteers translate one 100-word abstract once every month or two, for a total of less than ten abstracts a year. In exchange for this valuable service to our scientific community, your name will be listed in our masthead and you will receive free access to the journal. We can also provide a testimonial letter about your involvement with the journal if needed. A degree of familiarity with the domain is needed, but translators who are at the stage of being a doctoral candidate are already welcome.
