A study conducted by researchers from Chungnam National University explores how online shopping ease and corporate social responsibility (CSR) influence global product purchases in South Korea and Japan. The research highlights how CSR initiatives, when combined with user-friendly e-commerce platforms, boost purchase frequency. The finding reveals cross-country differences, with Japanese consumers showing a stronger response to CSR efforts, providing valuable information about consumer behavior and e-commerce strategies.

Recently, a research team led by Professor Shuxiao Wang from the School of Environment at Tsinghua University integrated a comprehensive global natural archive database of mercury (Hg) accumulation with modelled global atmospheric Hg deposition data. This integration revealed how global ecosystems respond to changes in atmospheric Hg input. The findings of this research were published in the National Science Review.
