Experts for Media

A resource for journalists to find stories and sources.

At Asia Research News, we have a strong network of researchers at institutes throughout Asia and beyond. Every so often, we pick a topic that we believe will interest journalists and invite research institutions to nominate their experts in that topic. Journalists are welcome to contact researchers directly, or reach out to us if you need help finding a source. More researchers are available on our Researchers page. 

Expert Request Service. Coming soon!

A new service for registered journalists.

Need an expert for your story? Let the Asia Research News community of experts at research institutions help. 

Join our community as a Journalist now to be the first to receive details of the upcoming service allowing you to find experts for your specific expertise request.

Asia Research News was a valuable resource for my story on gender equality in China's science industry - part of the South China Morning Post's International Women's Day 2022 series. Thank you ARN, and your extensive network of researchers, with special thanks to those who kindly helped with my exploration of why there are so few women in China’s top science institutes, and recent measures meant to bridge the gender gap.

It's a good sign that when I'm super busy, your newsletter still encourages me to click on a story and I find myself engrossed in that, rather than doing the work I should be doing ;-)
