Seven Chinese scholars were invited to join Cell's Academic Advisory Board

recently, china Science Daily noted that the official website of Cell Press had updated the list of academic advisers to cell magazines
meetings.
, Gao
, Wang Hongwei, Huang Sanwen, Gao Caixia, Chen Lingling, Zhang
and seven other Chinese scientists were selected. Together with Cao Xuetao and Deng Hongkui, who were selected in 2013, cell
has nine Chinese scholars. At present, there
119 members of the Council.
is recognized as the world's leading journal in the field of life sciences, since its inception in 1974 has nearly 46 years of history.
it is understood that cell academic
will take the invitation system. John Pham, editor-in-chief of the magazine, replied to the China Science Journal, "These invited scientists are respected by us and have made great contributions to the scientific community and to our journals." From time
, members of the Academic Advisors Association will provide guidance or constructive advice on editorial decisions and the direction of journal development, including recommendations on editorial policies and new plans. They are our window into close contact with all disciplines.
Pham said the members of the Academic Advisors
association had no fixed term, but they planned to review their lists regularly to ensure that the overall balance of the members of the academic advisers
council and their fit with the journal itself.
it is understood that there are currently four Nobel laureates in cell's academic advisory
meeting: Joe Goldstein, winner of the 1985 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, 2012 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine Shinya Yamanaka, 2012 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry Brian Kobilka, and 2018 Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine Jim Allison.
China Science Daily also learned from Cell Press that there are more journals that will be adjusted and expanded in the near future by the academic consultant
. This is actually the publisher's overall strategy for fulfilling its commitment to diversity, particularly in advancing gender diversity.
the newly selected Chinese scholars included two female scientists.Deborah Sweet, vice president of editorial at
Cell Press, said, "By the end of 2020,
, an academic consultant in cell publishing houses' research and review journals, will expand its female membership to 30 percent, and our goal is that
, an academic consultant in all journals, will have half of the female membership." , Third World
