Following her talk, WANG Zhicheng commented that constructing China’s own world-class STM journals has become a mission of national importance, one that is highly valued by China’s President Xi Jinping. The delegation hoped to find, through a study of LSA’s success, ways to make China’s high-profile journals more respected and successful. Wang also pointed out, as China’s flagship STM journal, LSA should further broaden its influence, and continue to set an example for breeding talents, boosting international collaborations and leading STM researches.
