BMC Artificial Intelligence scope
BMC Artificial Intelligence is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that provides an interdisciplinary platform for artificial intelligence (AI) research within the life, biological and medical sciences. Research areas considered include machine learning and intelligence, methodological advances in AI, and AI ethics and regulations. There is also a focus on life sciences and medical AI applications including pharmacology and drug development, diagnostics and precision medicine, medicinal chemistry, and agricultural and environmental sciences.
Criteria
We are seeking researchers who are committed to open access, data sharing, and innovation in scientific publishing.
Suitable candidates should:
- have a minimum of fifteen (15) research papers published in reputable, English language, peer-reviewed journals;
- be frequently listed as corresponding author (first or last author) during the last five years;
- have demonstrable expertise that fits within the scope and the need of the journal.
Suitable Editorial Board Members for BMC Artificial Intelligence also must:
- support the journal’s ethos, scope, editorial standards, and policies, and be committed to represent BMC Artificial Intelligence within the scientific community;
- provide a professional and supportive service to our authors and ensure that manuscripts fulfil the requirements of the Journal and are handled efficiently and appropriately through peer-review.
Role and responsibilities
The Editorial Board Member is primarily responsible for assessing manuscripts for their suitability for peer review, selecting suitable reviewers who meet the Journal’s requirements and recommends decisions on the basis of the peer reviewers’ reports and their own assessment while adhering to the Journal’s editorial policies.
An Editorial Board Member for BMC Artificial Intelligence should be willing to handle a minimum of 12 manuscripts per year across a range of disciplines within their broader subject area, bearing in mind that meeting this target may depend on the journal's receipt of a sufficient number of submissions.
We also encourage all of our Editors to take an active interest in journal development and promotional projects to help increase the visibility of our published research.
Our Editorial Board Members will receive training, and our in-house editorial team will also provide administrative support. The Editorial Board Members will report to the in-house Editor.
