Dr. Graham Dawson, an Associate Professor at XJTLU, then took the stage to share his insights on "How to Publish in Peer-Reviewed Journals for Early Career Researchers." Dr. Dawson drew from his extensive experience in publication in international peer-reviewed journals to provide practical advice. He emphasized the importance of goal-setting, choosing target journals wisely, and effectively responding to reviewer comments. He also interpreted his considerations on open access journal.

Finally, Dr. Darcy Sperlich, an Associate Professor of Linguistics at XJTLU, brought a speech called "Being 'Open' in Research – What Could it Mean?". He shared his feelings and insights when occupying various roles in the academic publishing process, including being a researcher, reviewer, and academic editor. Building upon this, he imparted knowledge on the key considerations during the submission process and potential solutions.

After the three speakers concluded their presentations, the attendees responded enthusiastically, actively posing questions and engaging in discussions with the speakers. The questions spanned manuscript framework, the submission process, and the application of AI within it.
