We are now recruiting Editorial Board Members (EBMs) and Topical Advisory Panel (TAP) Members for this Section. If you are an active researcher in one of the aforementioned fields and are passionate about publishing cutting-edge research, please do not hesitate to get in touch (processes@mdpi.com).

The responsibilities of the Processes TAP Members include the following:

Providing regular reviews of manuscripts;
Setting up at least one Special Issue (SI) in partnership with a senior researcher within two years of appointment and proposing a detailed strategy plan for the SI. The topic of the proposal should be within the scope of the journal.

The Special Issue should cover a small part of the scope of the journal, but not the whole;
Providing a detailed strategy plan for the SI, including assisting in preparing the Special Issue’s/Topic’s title, aim and scope, summary and keywords; soliciting papers and promoting the SI;
