Join the editorial and advisory board

Become a reviewer

Manuscript reviewers are vital to the publication process, and as a reviewer you gain valuable experience in scientific publishing. We invite you to become a reviewer of our journals or conferences.

Being a peer reviewer opens doors to new opportunities: it deepens your knowledge of professional standards and quickly earns you the respect of your peers. Reviewers are also preferred when advisory members are chosen. A good review is a thoughtful, well-balanced report with suggested improvements for the authors, so reviewers must be ready to invest the time needed to evaluate a manuscript thoroughly.

If you are interested in reviewing for our conferences or journals and in becoming an advisory member, send your scientific CV to [email protected].
