Recruiting Topical Advisory Panel Members for Membranes


The Membranes (ISSN: 2077-0375) Editorial Office is pleased to inform you that applications are open for the Topical Advisory Panel. Should you decide to serve on the Topical Advisory Panel, you would be responsible for some of the following tasks, depending on your availability:

  • Providing regular reviews of manuscripts;
  • Setting up at least one Special Issue (SI) in partnership with a senior researcher within two years of the appointment and proposing a detailed strategy plan for the SI. The topic of the proposal should be within the scope of Membranes. The scope of the Special Issue should be broad enough to attract a reasonable number of submissions but narrow enough to provide a cohesive collection of articles;
  • Providing a detailed strategy plan for the SI including assisting in preparing the titles of Special Issues/Topics as well as their aim and scope, summary, and keywords and soliciting papers and promoting the SI;
  • Providing support for the Special Issues/Topics related to your expertise when the Guest Editor(s) is not available. This includes SI promotion via social media and giving advice in certain scientific cases;
  • Working with Editorial Board Members or the Editorial Office to promote high-quality/featured papers (for example, writing summaries or highlights for editor-selected papers). 

To qualify as a Topical Advisory Panel Member, applicants must:

  • Have expertise and experience in a field related to Membranes;
  • Have completed their Ph.D. within approximately the last 10 years;
  • Have published at least 6–8 papers in the last 5 years as a first author or corresponding author;
  • Currently hold an independent research position in academia or in a government institute.
