ACS Catalysis Appoints Second Early Career Advisory Board and New Associate Editor
A
t this time last year,1 we announced the creation of our first Early Career Advisory Board (ECAB). Eighteen researchers in the early stages of their professional research careers2 convened with several ACS Catalysis editors at the 2017 Fall ACS National Meeting in Washington, DC to discuss the state of scholarly publishing in the catalysis community. ECAB members were selected from a pool of candidates recommended by the associate editors and the editorial advisory board (EAB) as representative of outstanding emerging researchers within our community. Owing to the great utility of the insights and feedback received from ECAB members, we will continue to appoint a new ECAB and convene for a discussion each year at the Fall ACS National Meeting, to occur this year in Boston. We are pleased to announce that the 2018 ECAB is composed of the following members: Tatiana Besset, Université de Rouen (France)3 Raffaella Buonsanti, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (Switzerland) Dehui Deng, Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics (China) Tianning Diao, New York University (U.S.A.) Maria Escudero Escribano, University of Copenhagen (Denmark) Rajamani Gounder, Purdue University (U.S.A.)3 Ceri Hammond, Cardiff University (Wales) Kami Hull, University of Illinois, Urbana−Champaign (U.S.A.) Jung Min Joo, Pusan National University (South Korea) Yasutaka Kuwahara, Osaka University (Japan) Iván Lavandera Garciá, Universidad de Oviedo (Spain) Elaine O’Reilly, University of Nottingham (U.K.) Jean-Sabin McEwen, Washington State University (U.S.A.) Basker Sundararaju, IIT Kanpur (India) Ning Yan, National University of Singapore (Singapore)3 Mengchun Ye, Nankai University (China)3 Wenjun Zhang, University of California, Berkeley (U.S.A.) We look forward to working with these researchers throughout the rest of the year. In another development, I am pleased to announce the appointment of a new member of the editorial team, Prof. Beatriz Roldán Cuenya, of the Fritz Haber Institute in Berlin. Beatriz is well-known in the heterogeneous catalysis community for her scholarship focusing on adsorption and reaction at gas/ liquid/solid interfaces. Her appointment brings the team to 17 associate editors, all active researchers, working in 10 different countries. The fact that more than 50% of the associate editors work outside the United States underlies our desire to be a journal that represents the whole of the global catalysis community. We appreciate the continued support of the © 2018 American Chemical Society
community, as manifested by growing journal usage and manuscript submissions.
