A fresh academic trend is emerging! In 2024, international use of the Chinese social sciences platform surged by 34.2% during a symposium in Beijing, Chinese mainland, signaling a growing global engagement with Chinese-language humanities and social sciences research. 👍
The event, organized by the Library of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the National Center for Philosophy and Social Sciences Documentation (NCPSSD), unveiled two key reports: the "2024 Report on the Most Popular Journals" and the new "2024 User Usage Analysis Report." These reports highlight how renowned journals like Qiushi (an official publication of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China), Religious Studies, Research in Education Development, Archaeology, and Jiangsu Higher Education are capturing worldwide attention. Think of it like the latest viral trend in academia!
The user analysis report provided detailed insights on usage patterns among domestic institutions, individual users, overseas institutions, and new media platforms. With over 27 million data records, more than 90,000 domestic institutions, 1,300 overseas institutions, and 8 million registered users across 197 countries and regions, the platform has become the world’s largest open-access hub for Chinese-language philosophy and social sciences research, amassing over 1.6 billion cumulative visits.
Adding a futuristic twist, discussions during the two-day conference also explored how artificial intelligence can empower the high-quality development of academic journals. Over 80 representatives from academic journal editorial boards debated AI’s opportunities and challenges, setting the stage for proposals on its responsible use in publishing. ⚙️✨
This robust international growth not only cements the platform's role in the global academic landscape but also inspires innovative strides in research and digital development. The future of academia is here—and it’s buzzing with energy!
