Young editors are the backbone of ensuring the sustainable development of scientific journals, and their professional quality and level directly affect the content and publication quality of journals. In the era of new media, only by adapting to the development of the times and the needs of scientific and technological progress can young editors become composite editorial talents. The authors emphasize that young editors should focus on cultivating and improving abilities in topic selection and planning, manuscript submission/ invitation, editorial work, professional academic capabilities, publicity and promotion, and service innovation, and put forward specific methods and ways for improvement.
