• Providing a detailed strategy plan for the SI, including assisting in preparing the Special Issue/Topic titles, aim & scope, summary and keywords; soliciting papers; and promoting the SI;
• Providing support for the Special Issues/Topics related to your expertise when the Guest Editor(s) is not available. This includes SI promotion via social media and providing advice on some scientific cases;
• Promoting the journal at conferences (adding 1–2 slides into your presentation, distributing flyers, recommending the journal to your colleagues, etc.), on social media and other relevant platforms;
• Collaborating with the Editorial Board Members or the Editorial Office to promote high-quality/featured papers (for example, writing a summary or highlights of the editor's selected papers).
