Sensors (ISSN: 1424-8220, IF 3.4) is recruiting new Editorial Board Members to support the development of the new “Cross Data” Section.

Introduction to the “Cross Data” Section:

The Section collects papers on original research datasets at the intersection of the natural sciences, including chemical, agricultural, and engineering. These papers provide detailed descriptions of research datasets, including the methods used to collect the data from various sensors and devices and the technical analyses that support the quality of these measurements. These data descriptors focus on helping others reuse the data rather than testing hypotheses or proposing new interpretations, methods, or in-depth analyses, including joint works from different research areas and supporting the FAIR Data Principles, which state that research data should be findable, accessible, discoverable, citable, understandable, reviewable, replicable, and reusable.

Responsibilities of Editorial Board Members include the following:
