Announcing the Inaugural ACS Catalysis Early Career Advisory Board ince the launch of ACS Catalysis in 2011, the journal has utilized an Editorial Advisory Board (EAB) to periodically provide guidance and feedback regarding journal initiatives and operations. Specifically, these mostly senior researchers are responsible for providing feedback about the quality of the journal’s customer service, where our customers are authors, reviewers, and readers. Owing to the breadth of the global catalysis community, with practitioners working in many different subcommunities divided by research topic, geography, or other factors, our EAB is made up of a diverse mixture of scientists and engineers. With this editorial, I am pleased to announce the creation of our first Early Career Advisory Board (ECAB). The ECAB is also composed of researchers who work in different catalysis subcommunities around the world, but this group differs from the EAB in a few key ways. First, members of the ECAB are close to the start of their professional research careers, typically being between 3 and 7 years from their initial such appointment. As such, most ECAB members will only serve 1 or 2 years, with high turnover ensuring good breadth of feedback from the more junior members of our community. A key role that ECAB members will play is to advise the journal of emerging trends of relevance to chemistry, catalysis science, and scientific publishing in general, to help ensure that the journal stays abreast of new developments. ECAB members were selected from a pool of candidates recommended by the Associate Editors and the EAB as representative of outstanding emerging researchers within our community. The first ECAB is composed of the following members, who will gather for the first time later this year: Simon Beaumont, University of Durham Tatiana Besset, Université de Rouen Minkee Choi, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology Jillian Dempsey, University of North Carolina Rajamani Gounder, Purdue University Lars Grabow, University of Houston Elena Groppo, University of Torino Zheng Huang, Shanghai Institute of Organic Chemistry Jared Lewis, University of Chicago Manuel Moliner, Instituto de Tecnologı ́a Quı ́mica Dörte Rother, Biotechnologie Forschungszentrum Jülich GmbH Corinna Schindler, University of Michigan Yogi Surendranath, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Bingjun Xu, University of Delaware Miho Yamauchi, Kyushu University Ning Yan, National University of Singapore Mengchun Ye, Nankai University Chen Zhao, East China Normal University
