The following is a short Q&A with Dr. Li Cao, who shared his vision for the journal with us, as well as his views of the research area and open access publishing:
1. What do you think of the development of open access in the publishing field?
In the current world, many people still face difficulties in easily accessing scientific resources to advance their knowledge, techniques, and research. Open access is a great approach as it can provide equal opportunities for everyone to freely access scientific information and knowledge. There is no doubt that open access plays an important role in the advancement of science.
2. What appealed to you about the journal that made you want to take on the role as its Section Editor-in-Chief of “Nanocomposite Materials”?
I have worked on nanomaterial- and composite-related research for many years. Serving as the Section Editor-in-Chief will allow me to make significant contributions to the “Nanocomposite Materials” Section.
3. What is your vision for this Section?
Our Section broadly covers various topics related to the research and applications of nanocomposite materials. It has become a significant platform for researchers and scientists to share their innovative research in this field. It will become a high-impact literature resource for everyone to read the latest developments in nanocomposite materials and applications.
4. What does the future of this field of research look like?
The future of this field of research is very promising due to the rapid development of nanocomposite materials for various applications. Benefiting from the development of technologies and timely dissemination of scientific information, scientists and researchers will continue making innovative progress in nanocomposite materials for diverse applications compared to the past.
We wish Dr. Li Cao every success in his new position, and we look forward to his contributions to the journal.
