Inviter: Reacher Xinhui Xia
Abstract: A highly competitive research environment with increasingly limited research funding has created a “Publish or Perish” attitude among scientists who are judged on both the quantity and the quality of their research articles. This presentation provides a brief overview of recent development of scientific publishing, Wiley materials science journal profile, and peer review of manuscript that is handled by in-house editorial staff (including prescreening, finding referees and making decision on referee reports). Tips will be presented on how to select an appropriate journal for your paper, how to improve the chance of your manuscript to pass pre-screening and peer review process, and how to increase the discoverability of your paper after publication.
Dr. Lu Shi received double Ph.D. degrees in Material Science and Condensed Matter Physics from the Catholic University of Louvain (Belgium) and the University of Grenoble Alps (France) in 2017 and obtained her B.Sc. at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and M.Sc. at the Shanghai Institute of Ceramics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Her research interests are in the areas of 2D materials and heterostructures. She is now an associate editor of Advanced Materials, Advanced Electronic Materials, Advanced Materials Interfaces, Advanced Sustainable Systems, and based in Wiley Shanghai office.
