All the others work part-time for the journals. Yu et al. [101] argued that this was very disadvantageous to the development of these journals. The number of full-time editors varied across the 31 journals (Table 8 ), while 13 journals had additional part-time editors varying from one to six. Yu et al. [101] commented that in China, there are very few editors who have high academic qualifications in biomedical sciences and at the same time are proficient in the English language. More training is needed. In order to attract talent and prevent further brain-drain, Yu et al. [101] suggested that scientific editors in China should receive the same pay and benefits as scientific researchers to remove the impression that editors are second-class scientific professionals.
