China's scientific journals see surge in quality and number, but gap persists between Chinese and English titles.

China's scientific journals have significantly improved in quality and influence over the past decade, according to a recent report. The total number of journals rose to 5,211 in 2023, up from 5,163 in 2022, with 48 new English titles. Citation frequency and impact factors have seen steady growth, attributed to a 2019 excellence action plan. However, there remains a gap in quality between Chinese- and English-language journals, with disparities in policy support and funding.
