To ensure the efficient and high-quality production of our journal, we have added several new Sections and are currently seeking nominations and applications for the position of Section Editor-in-Chief (SEiC) for the following Sections:

If you are a researcher in a related field and are passionate about participating in the publication of cutting-edge research, please do not hesitate to get in touch about joining the Editorial Board.

  • Defining the aims and scope of the Section;
  • Advising on the strategic development of the Section;
  • Providing support and guidance to the Editorial Board Members and editorial staff where required;
  • Inviting distinguished scientists to join the Editorial Board;
  • Maintaining oversight of the editorial process to ensure that the published content is of high quality, and discussing possible improvements;

The Section Editor-in-Chief should be a leader in their particular field of research and will be responsible for checking and maintaining the scientific quality of a particular Section in the journal.
