Brain Sciences (https://www.mdpi.com/journal/brainsci) is an international open-access journal led by Editor-in-Chief Prof. Dr. Stephen D. Meriney from University of Pittsburgh, USA. In an effort to expand our offerings to the systems sciences community, we are recruiting scientists to join the Topic Board.

Brain Sciences is dedicated to the quick global dissemination of the results of cutting-edge technology research in neuroscience. Brain Sciences is covered by leading indexing services, including Science Citation Indexed Expanded (SCIE, IF 2.786) in Web of Science, Scopus (Citescore 2.85), citations available in PubMed, full-text archived in PubMed Central, etc.

We encourage applications from researchers with a background in a range of subject areas. Should you decide to serve on the Topic Board, and depending on your availability, you would be responsible for some of the following tasks:

• Setting up at least one Special Issue (SI) over two years in the journal and proposing a detailed strategy plan for the SI (including soliciting papers and promoting the SI);
• Promoting the journal during conferences (adding 1–2 slides to your presentation, distributing flyers, recommending the journal to your colleagues, etc.);
• Providing support for the Special Issues on topics related to your expertise or when the Guest Editor(s) is/are not available, including SI promotion via social media, prechecking new submissions, making decisions, and providing advice on scientific cases.

Benefits: Topic Editors will be waived 500 CHF on the article processing charge (APC) per year, and offer special discounts (240 CHF) on any additional papers based on your invitation. You can find more about the APC at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/brainsci/apc.
