Benefits of the role:

  • Your name listed on the journal website. 
  • Early access to new research, helping you keep abreast of developments in the field.
  • The opportunity to network with colleagues and peers (editors or board members) and to influence the journal's future development.

EAB are expected to be senior researchers with at least 7 years of postdoctoral experience, and have some previous experience as editorial members of scholarly journals. Other editorial experience is also relevant, as for example serving as guest editor of special issues, editor of scientific books or organiser of relevant conferences /events, or relevant roles in scientific societies. 

If you are interested in applying to become an editorial board member, please send your CV to please email the Editor, Prof Kwame Agyemang at kwame.agyemang@uky.edu, or Aggie Topolska, Publisher, at atopolska@emerald.com. Please include links to your ORCID, Google Scholar profile or similar. 

Please note that we will not be able to get back to everyone individually, but will be in touch if your expertise and other internal criteria matches that of the journal. Since we aim at having an editorial board that is geographically diverse and that covers all relevant areas in which SBM receives submissions regularly, candidates will be selected accounting for those criteria and not only their CV.
