Recruiting Topical Advisory Panel Members for Current Issues in Molecular Biology

The Editorial Office of the Current Issues in Molecular Biology (CIMB, ISSN: 1467-3045) is pleased to announce 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 in partnership with a senior researcher within two years of taking on the role and proposing a detailed strategy plan for the Special Issue. The topic of the proposal should be within the scope of CIMB. 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. The Special Issue should cover a small part of the scope of CIMB;
Providing a detailed strategy plan for the Special Issue, including assisting in preparing the Special Issue’s title, aim and scope, summary, and keywords, soliciting papers, and promoting the Special Issue;
Supporting Special Issues related to your expertise when the Guest Editor is unavailable. This includes Special Issue promotion via social media and advising on some scientific cases;
Promoting our journal at conferences (adding one to two slides into presentations, distributing flyers, recommending the journal to your colleagues, etc.), on social media, and other relevant platforms;
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 the field related to CIMB;
Have completed their Ph.D.;
Have published at least six papers in the last 5 years as a first or corresponding author.

Each year, the members’ performance is evaluated, and outstanding members are promoted to the Editorial Board by the Editor-in-Chief. Please click on the following link to submit your application: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/cimb/topical_advisory_panel_application.
