The country generates around 20% of all research papers published worldwide, second only to the US (approximately 23%). While most of the journals published in China are in the native language, the report observes that China is attempting to gain international readership and have a global impact by publishing in English. Therefore, apart from launching English journals, the journals that publish in Chinese are translating certain papers into English and including abstracts in English.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the new English journals belong to the science, technology, and medicine (STM) fields and many have succeeded in having a high global impact. The report states that 185 of these journals were included in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.editage.com\/insights\/thomson-reuters-releases-the-2016-journal-citation-reports\">2016 Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Report<\/a>, which lists the world\u2019s most cited journals. Moreover, the authors observe that with the government supporting Chinese publishers and the Chinese publishers\u2019 improved understanding of the publishing business, more number of Chinese English-language journals can be expected.
