Of particular note is that the academic influence of the country's Chinese language sci-tech journals continues to grow, with the international citation ratio climbing to 7.6 percent in 2020 from 4.44 percent in 2016.

Meanwhile, the country's English language sci-tech journals have played an increasingly important role in international academic exchanges. In recent years, a growing number of such journals have been included in internationally prestigious databases.
