How long have you been on the board?

Five years (I think!).

I've known Fares for years. I have reviewed for a number of journals for many years and have published a large number of papers. The editorial board was being expanded to include specialty editors and it was suggested that I might be interested in taking on this role.

My understanding of the whole publishing process has expanded remarkably. I thoroughly enjoy the amazing intellect of all of my colleagues on the board and always learn a huge amount not only about the scientific process what about other areas of orthopaedics every time we discuss anything.

Do it. Definitely become a reviewer as this improves your own scientific abilities immeasurably. If you really want to do more then approach a board member and discuss it with them but I can recommend it wholeheartedly.
