Nanomaterials (ISSN: 2079-4991) is currently recruiting prominent scholars from around the world to join our Editorial Board. Nanomaterials is an international, peer reviewed, open-access journal that is published semimonthly online by MDPI. The journal focuses on the properties and applications of nanomaterials.

High Visibility: indexed within Scopus, SCIE (Web of Science), PubMed, PMC, CAPlus / SciFinder, Inspec, and other databases;
Journal Rank: JCR–Q1 (“Physics”, “Applied”)/CiteScore–Q1 (“General Chemical Engineering”);
Rapid Publication: manuscripts are peer-reviewed and a first decision is provided to authors approximately 11.7 days after submission; acceptance to publication is undertaken in 2.6 days (median values for papers published in this journal in the first half of 2023);
Impact Factor: 5.3 (2022);
Citecore: 7.4 (2022).

The primary responsibilities of Editorial Board Members are as follows:

• Pre-screening and making decisions on manuscripts related to their research interests;
• Setting up at least one Special Issue during their term, on a topic related to their research interests (or supervising Special Issues related to their research field);
• Providing input or feedback regarding journal policies;
• Helping to promote the journal among their peers or at conferences;
• Attending Editorial Board meetings to suggest journal development strategies;
• Reviewing manuscripts.
  

The benefits of becoming an Editorial Board Member include the following:

• The opportunity to publish one paper, free of charge, per year in Nanomaterials, as well as receiving discounts for papers invited from your scientific network;
• A certificate recognizing you as an Editorial Board Member of Nanomaterials;
• Nanomaterials may offer sponsorship for conferences organized by you as well as offer you travel grants when attending related conferences;
• The term of Editorial Board Members is two years, after which they may be reappointed or have the chance to be selected as Section Editor-In-Chief or Section Associate Editor.

The application criteria for becoming an Editorial Board Member include the following:

• Have a Ph.D.;
• Have knowledge and experience in editing international journals;
• Have published a certain number of research results with academic influence in related fields.

To apply for this position (in one of our Sections), please contact the Nanomaterials Editorial Office (nanomaterials@mdpi.com) with the following two files attached:

• A full academic CV;
• A short cover letter that details your interest and enthusiasm for the position.

If you have potential candidates to recommend or need further information, we would be truly grateful if you could contact us via email. Your valuable assistance will be highly appreciated. We look forward to hearing from you.
