Editorial Board Guidance: Professor Jianping Li

To assist Early Career Researchers, we asked Editorial Board Members what advice they would give to navigate the early stages of academic publishing. 

Read what Professor Jianping Li, (Ocean University of China) Editorial Board Member of Environmental Research: Letters, what advice he had for Early Career Researchers: 

“Firstly, choose a clear research direction that you are interested in. I think this is very important for a professional career.
Secondly, find a supportive network. Find senior scientists who can provide guidance to help you develop.
Third, is to publish earlier and often. You should learn how to write for publication. And aim for the quality and the impact.
The fourth, stay resilient and embrace failure. Success requires persistence and adaptation. So, I think those suggestions may be helpful to early career researchers.”
