Co-hosted by: Assistant Professor Li Haobo (CCEB)

Abstract

Cell Press publishes over 50 scientific journals across the life, physical, earth, sustainability and health sciences, both independently and in partnership with scientific societies. Our journey began 50 years ago with the launch of the journal Cell, driven by a commitment to publishing groundbreaking biology research. Today, Cell Press is dedicated to publishing exciting science across a wide range of disciplines.
In today's talk, four editors from different journals of Cell Press will provide an overview of our diverse journals and offer advice on publishing your exciting research. This presentation aims to showcase the breadth and depth of our publications while providing insights into the important processes involving paper writing, article submission, and peer review. Additionally, we will address questions that may arise during the publishing process.
Joule is one of the leading high impact journals publishing energy research, covering a range of topics and scales from the fundamental understanding of energy-relevant phenomena to the fabrication of devices and the development of policy and engineering solutions leading to the deployment of energy technologies in the real world.
Matter, a sister journal to Cell, is a monthly journal encompassing the general field of materials science, from nano to macro, fundamentals to application. Recognizing that materials discovery and development facilitate groundbreaking technologies bridging multiple disciplines, Matter will embrace all significant advances in materials research, encompassing the previously unknown and the innovative.
Chem Catalysis is the first field-focused journal of Chem. It is launched in 2021 and seeks to publish innovative and insightful research on fundamental and applied catalysis from all sub-areas, including homogenous, heterogenous and bio-catalysis.

Cell Reports Physical Science is a premium open access journal launched in 2020. It publishes the works that represent a significant advance in fundamental insight and/or technological application within a field of research including, but not limited to, chemistry, physics, materials science, energy science, engineering, or related interdisciplinary work.

Biography

Dr. Ruhui Chen obtained her BE from University of Science and Technology of China and PhD in chemistry from Georgia Institute of Technology. After that, she joined Wiley as an editor working for journals focusing on sustainability and electrochemistry. In 2023, Ruhui joined Cell Press as the scientific editor for Joule, and also serves as the consulting editor for Chem Catalysis. Her scientific interests primarily include catalysis, reactor design, policy analysis, and their energy impacts in the real world.  

Dr. Yuqing Lin obtained his PhD from University of Central Florida with a focus on the optical and electrical properties of nanomaterials. He joined Beijing Institute of Technology in 2017 as a junior faculty member before becoming an editor of the European Physical Journal (EPJ) series in 2020, covering a range of topics in physics and materials science. Yuqing joined Cell Press in 2022 and is based in the Beijing office.

Dr. Nan Yang received her Ph.D. in Materials Science from the University of Rome Tor Vergata in 2013. During her research career, she has conducted several research projects at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and various advanced light sources across Europe. In 2016, she joined ShanghaiTech University as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Nan Yang joined Chem Catalysis in March 2024 as scientific editor and is based in Beijing. Her expertise lies in heterogeneous catalysis and its applications.

Dr. Qiuming Ma obtained his undergraduate degree in energy and power engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University. This was followed by a PhD at INSA Toulouse, Université de Toulouse, and post-doctoral work at Shanghai Jiao Tong University. In 2021, Qiuming took on an editorial role at Wiley, before joining Cell Reports Physical Science in June 2023. Qiuming also serves as a consulting editor for Joule.
