Episode 23 - ECR support: Is it about the research or the researcher?

In this episode, Sin-Wang discusses the support systems for early career researchers (ECRs) from the perspective of a journal editor. He reflects on the mentorship scheme implemented in his journal, Review of Education, which aims to provide ECRs with hands-on experience in the peer review process. The conversation explores the challenges faced by ECRs, the importance of empowerment in support systems, and the need for cultural shifts within academia to better support the next generation of researchers.
