Recruiting Reviewer Board Members for Land


The journal Land (ISSN: 2073-445X) is recruiting Reviewer Board Members. The main responsibility of the new members of the Reviewer Board is to provide timely, high-quality reports on submitted manuscripts. To qualify as a reviewer, applicants must have published approximately eight papers related to land science in the last 5 years and hold a Ph.D. degree. More information on reviewer responsibilities is available at https://www.mdpi.com/reviewers.

The Reviewer Board consists of experienced researchers whose main responsibility is regularly and actively supporting journals by providing high-quality, rigorous, and transparent review reports for submitted manuscripts within their area of expertise. The initial term is 1 year, which can be renewed or terminated. Membership involves the same responsibilities and benefits as regular reviewers, with the addition of the following:

  • Reviewer Board Members (RBMs) must review a minimum of six manuscripts per year. Should the reviewer be unable to provide a report when invited, they are expected to suggest potential alternative reviewers (the proposed candidates must meet the reviewers’ requirements (https://www.mdpi.com/reviewers#_bookmark2));
  • RBMs have the opportunity to publish one paper per year with a discount of CHF 200 (once accepted for publication after peer review);
  • RBMs are entitled to receive an RB certificate;
  • RBMs are announced on the journal website;
  • Active RBMs may be promoted to the Topical Advisory Panel (subject to approval by the Editor-in-Chief).

If you are interested in this role or have any recommendations, please email us at [email protected]. We hope to hear from you soon.
