Promote the high-quality development of academic journals in Hong Kong

Na HE, male, PhD, associate professor, master’s supervisor. In 2014, he received a doctor’s degree in geotechnical engineering from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Chengdu Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, and from 2016 to 2017, he went to Erlangli Merrick University to visit and study. Served as the coordinator and homeroom teacher for international cooperation projects between Henan University of Technology and Limerick University. Mainly engaged in research on landslide disaster prevention and design, debris flow formation mechanism, and prediction and forecasting.

“Showcasing important achievements and providing a stage for young scientists”

Na HE: In order to better leverage the important role of scientific journals as a bridge platform for basic research, disciplinary development, technology research and application, the following points need to be paid attention to. One is to showcase important achievements. We need to closely connect with frontline experts and scholars, discover high-quality papers, expand the scope of manuscripts, increase the scale of publications, and build ourselves into a platform that carries high-level achievements. The second is to lead the development of catalysis discipline. We should actively analyze the development direction of cutting-edge disciplines, plan and organize major academic conferences around hot topics, promote academic exchanges, and promote the inheritance and innovation of disciplines. The third is to deepen the integration of industry, academia and research. We should focus on the major strategic needs, scientific research projects, and technological innovations of the country, publish the significant scientific and technological achievements obtained in engineering practice, and promote the better and faster transformation of innovative achievements into production applications.

“Adhere to academic excellence and enhance Hong Kong’s international academic influence”

Na HE: The impact factor can indicate the level of attention a journal receives, but it cannot be equated with international influence. Publishing important scientific research achievements and high-quality papers is the foundation of scientific journals. A good scientific journal should have an international perspective and focus on forward-looking research in the field. Taking atmospheric science as an example, Chinese scholars can also pay attention to meteorological issues abroad, and Chinese scientific journals can publish research results on foreign meteorology. Only when journals attach importance to publishing papers on scientific issues around the world can they attract outstanding scientists from around the world to submit their papers.

As a member of the editorial board of Scientific Research Bulletin, we will create excellent academic journals in Hong Kong, China in accordance with journal standards and regulations, and enhance international academic influence.
