The University of Macau (UM) today (17 December) held a talk titled ‘Publishing in Wiley Materials Science Journals, and a Chemical Story of Impurities’. Two editors of Wiley science journals, namely Dr Jovia Jiang and Dr Su Xin, were the keynote speakers.

Dr Jovia Jiang is the deputy editor of Wiley’s Advanced Materials Editorial Team. During the talk, she gave a brief overview of the recent developments of scientific publishing and Wiley’s materials science journals.
