UCLA Joe C. Wen School of Nursing Assistant Professors Anthony Tolentino, PhD, RN, NI-BC, FAMIA, and Sungwon Park, PhD, RN, have been appointed to the Early Career Researcher Editorial Board of the Journal of Advanced Nursing, one of the world’s foremost nursing publications.
A board-certified nursing informaticist, Dr. Tolentino has more than a decade of informatics experience in acute and ambulatory settings. His current research focuses on improving outcomes in the Filipino American community, particularly those with Type 2 diabetes.
Dr. Park, who joined UCLA Nursing in 2025, focuses on metabolic syndrome management and prevention for working populations and community members. Her current research uses objective measures to improve physical activity and reduce sedentary behavior among populations at risk for metabolic syndrome. Both faculty members will play an important role in shaping the future of nursing scholarship through their editorial contributions.
The Early Career Researcher Editorial Board is a Wiley initiative designed to integrate rising scholars into the governance of scholarly publishing. The boards aim to maximize inclusion of early-career researchers by involving them in editorial decision-making, journal strategy, and content innovation.
As members of the ECR board, Drs. Tolentino and Park will review and shape manuscripts, collaborate on special issues, and contribute to editorial strategies that enhance the journal’s reach and relevance. They will also engage in mentorship opportunities and participate in board meetings to help set goals and deliverables. They join 13 other board members representing seven countries from around the world, including the U.S., UK, Thailand, Australia, and more.
