Take a look at how China’s scientific publishing ecosystem is evolving

Last year, the China Association for Science and Technology (CAST) released phase II of their Excellence Action Plan (EAP) for scientific, technical and medical journals. Shuai Yan and Mark Robertson of STM, with colleagues from the Society of China University Journals and Science China Press, have prepared a report to get you up to speed on the key components of the plan and the organizations and journals involved.

This phase of the EAP is part of a larger goal to transform individual journal developments into an integrated, ecosystem-based approach, aiming to position China’s STM journals among the world’s top tier by 2035.
