Recruiting Volunteer Reviewers for Materials

Peer reviewing is an essential part of the publication process, ensuring that Materials (ISSN: 1996-1944) maintains its high standards for the quality of published papers. We wish to recruit expert reviewers to help uphold the quality and efficiency of Materials.

To qualify as a reviewer, applicants must have published several papers related to the topics covered by Materials in the last 5 years and hold a Ph.D. degree.

For example, reviewers should hold no conflicts of interest with any of the authors, reviewers should work for an official and recognized academic institution, etc.
