Guys,
Is editorial member is only by invitation?
or we should write to the editor-in-chief to consider us based on our profile?
Does any one can recommend?
Rama - Elsevier is one of the largest publishing houses. I assume you mean 'how do I become an editorial member of a journal/s that cluster under the company?' Most editorial members are eminent in their field and are invited or, sometimes, are well-known colleagues of the editor/editor-in-chief - but still have to fulfil the criteria of being well known outside the circle of 'friendship'. Either way - you have to make yourself known. You can't assume, in this competitive academic world that people will 'naturally find you.' On the other side of the spectrum you can't announce yourself as 'the next big thing to happen' without the established portfolio to back that claim up.
Hello Rama, Elsevier already has editors for all their journals but that does not mean they cannot improve upon what they have. If they feel you have an certain level of strength in an area where they lack the required expertise, I believe they will invite you. Additionally, if they float a new journal with a scope that requires your expertise, I am certain that they will extend an invitation to you. They already have access to the best part of your profile. I think it is more honorable to be invited than to put oneself or another forward only to be turned down.
Dear Maurice.. I knew its will be honorable when we receive by invitation..
We have millions of eminent people all over the world.. so they dont check everyone profile.. Usually, it works like a network, where editorial board members suggest names among their acquaintances.
Yes, every journal have editorial board members.. but every year, there will few additions/deletions.. Sometimes, if a particular journal receives more articles, they may add need few more ppl, who can share the workload..

So far in my experience they invite based on the quality of article published in the field of Journal.
I totally agree with Prof Dean.
