• They seem a good candidate for assoc editor status, and it would be useful experience for them as well as helpful skills for us. We've been a bit stalled on applications over the last year, so it will be good to get organised again. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 11:59, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

We need to establish if this applicant has specific Wikipedia experience Rwatson1955 (discuss • contribs) 12:52, 3 May 2023 (UTC)

• Given the lack of open experience, I think the applicant should be considered for associate editor position. @Rwatson1955: and @Mikael Häggström: Did this individual provide more information since our latest follow-up in May? OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 02:01, 4 July 2023 (UTC)

I have not received any response from the talk page entry... Mikael Häggström (discuss • contribs) 20:56, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

Given that the applicant has not responded and there are no subsequent edits made using his Wikimedia username, I will decline this application as it has become stale. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 04:19, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

• Being followed up by Rwatson1955 (discuss • contribs) 12:50, 3 May 2023 (UTC)
  • Note: The applicant mentioned that he used to edit under the account User:Borne, to whicch he lost hte password and subsequently edited anonymously before signing up for user:Bornehelm (which is why that account doesn't show edit history back to 2006). T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 12:05, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
• Support - Though the application itself is slim, I think he is actually quite a good candidate. The work done under the old User:Borne account was relevant and expertise in anesthesiology and pain medicine would be of use to the board. His work with BMC Anesthesiology is particular useful, since BMC is one of the most established OA publishing groups. T.Shafee(Evo﹠Evo)^talk 12:30, 19 June 2023 (UTC)
• Support likewise, having cleared up the confusion over his Wikipedia page, I support this one. Rwatson1955 (discuss • contribs) 02:01, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Editorial board application of Alfred Amendolara

Alfred Amendolara MS, DO (3rd year student, expected graduation 2025) (website)
Areas of expertise: neuroscience/neurology, machine learning and AI, epidemiology

Relevant experience:

Professional - My research interests are fairly diverse and span from designing and implementing machine learning models to investigating the neuronal pathways responsible for central pattern generation. I initially worked as a graduate research assistant at Fortune Lab at New Jersey Institute of Technology. During this time I completed my thesis which modeled influenza trends using cutting edge machine learning tools. I went on to work as a research associate at Severi Lab, also at New Jersey Institute of Technology for several years. There I investigated zebra fish motor circuitry using both behavioral experiments and, more recently, computational modeling. I continue to be affiliated with NJIT, although no longer in a paid position. I am currently a 3rd year medical student. I spent the first year in the Addiction Lab at Brigham Young University performing electrophysiological experiments investigating the neural pathways responsible for alcohol dependence. I am currently working in the Payne Lab at Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine as a graduate research assistant. Here I lead a number of projects including protein modeling of KCC2 channels in the brain (in order to investigate its role in addiction behaviors) as well as several in progress systematic reviews and meta-analyses. Additionally I am involved in an on-going clinical trail investigating mechanical nerve stimulation for the treatment of migraines. Over the past year I have actively regularly in reviewing for a number of journals.

Publishing - Founding co-Editor-in-chief of Intermountain Journal of Translational Medicine. I currently serve as the co-editor-in-chief of Intermountain Journal of Translational Medicine, a newly formed peer-reviewed journal published by Noorda College of Osteopathic Medicine aimed at early career researchers in the United States and beyond. We hope to complete our first issue by December of this year.

Open - I have edited Wikipedia pages in the past as a none-registered user.

I confirm that I will act in accordance with the policies of the WikiJournal of Medicine. Alfred Amendolara (discuss • contribs) 05:12, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

• I am not sure that there is sufficient editorial experience with mainstream journals/publishers or with Wikipedia to support Rwatson1955 (discuss • contribs) 10:34, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
• Decline While the Intermountain Journal of Translational Medicine is open access, it is far too new and published too few papers for me to comment on its quality. The author made no contributions to any wiki projects since the application to demonstrate their continued interest in the open movement or publishing. In the applicant's ORCID profile, several Open Science Framework items were misclassified as "journal articles". This suggests that applicant is confused between research registry and publications.

@Tesleemah Thank you for your application and my apologies for the delay in responding to it. Do you have any peer-reviewed publications (e.g. journal articles or book chapters)? The SSM papers you linked are preprints, which are not peer-reviewed publications. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 21:37, 6 November 2024 (UTC)

Ohh I was told the first one was published but guess it's just Preprint (I was a participatory author about 4 years ago and it was first time writing a research woek) and I am yet to publish the second one Tesleemah (discuss • contribs) 03:33, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

@Tesleemah Given your experience, would you be open to consider applying for associate editor position as opposed to editorial board position? For editorial board, we're looking for individuals with peer-reviewed publications. Associate editor positions require lesser experience. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 18:45, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Alright that's fine Tesleemah (discuss • contribs) 19:28, 14 November 2024 (UTC)

Thanks. I have changed your application to associate editor. I am in support of your associate editor application. Please wait for other editorial board members to review and comment on your application. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 21:39, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
