Participants learned how to navigate the submission process, from understanding common pitfalls in writing on China to responding effectively to peer review feedback. The session aimed to demystify the publication process, offering practical tips on selecting the right journals and best practices for writing academic articles. This opportunity provided early career China researchers with direct insight into the editorial expectations and how to enhance their research’s appeal to top-tier journals.
