The number of China's sci-tech journals has reached 5,071, with the growing influence of both Chinese and English sci-tech journals, according to a report from the China Association for Science and Technology.

Among them, there are 4,482 Chinese language sci-tech journals, 420 English language sci-tech journals, and 169 sci-tech journals using a combination of Chinese and English.

Under the theme of academic publications and exchange platforms in the digital age, the report, titled Blue Book on China's Scientific Journal Development (2022), covers a wide range of topics related to the country's sci-tech journals, such as the overall characteristics, publication and operation, published papers, and academic influence.

There are 1,570 journals in the field of basic science, 2,271 in technical science, and 1,152 in medical and health, according to the report.

The publication cycles of sci-tech journals are mainly bimonthly or monthly, accounting for about three-quarters of the total.

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.

Genetic Switch to Reactivate Organ Regeneration Discovered A group of Chinese scientists have discovered a genetic switch called ALDH1A2 that can reactivate nonregenerative mammals' ability to regenerate damaged organs. The activation of ALDH1A2 or supplying retinoic acid externally using a gene enhancer from rabbits can restore the regenerative capacity in nonregenerative mammals like mice. The discovery was recently published in Science.
