He currently serves as an editorial board member of JASIST (since 2012) and has been an associate editor for the main information retrieval journal in computer and information science, ACM Transactions on Information Systems (ACM TOIS), for eight years (serving under two different EiCs).
Mostafa now serves as an associate editor for the ACM Transactions on Internet Technology (ACM TOIT) and has edited or co-edited several special issues of journals, including IEEE Intelligent Systems, Journal of Digital Libraries, and JASIST.
