There are more than 5,000 academic journals in China and only about 60 on chemistry or chemical engineering. From 2009 to 2013, the number of SCI articles in chemistry is more than 160,000 but only 20 chemistry journals are indexed by SCI in China. Most of the chemical papers from China are published outside. To make the domestic journals more international and get more influence are a national strategy. The government put a big financial support in 2012 and 2013. The English language journals including Chinese Chem. Lett., Chinese J. Chem., Sci. China Chem., Chinese J. Polym. Sci., Chinese J. Chem. Eng., and Front. Chem. Sci. Eng. got the financial support.Building an international editorial broad, getting the best papers from Chinese scientists and other countries scientists, using international reviewers, collaborating with the international publisher are the main ways at this moment.
