Recently, Journal of Forestry Research, the English-language journal sponsored by our university, has achieved another notable success. In recognition of its outstanding academic quality and innovative publishing model, the journal has won two major honors: it was named “China’s Most Internationally Influential Academic Journal” for the 11th time and selected as a “2025 Case of High-Quality and Innovative Development in Science and Technology Journal Services.” These accolades highlight the journal’s significant role in promoting international academic exchange in the field of forestry. Receiving these two awards not only affirms the journal’s sustained excellence in academic standards, editorial quality, and international communication and impact, but also recognizes its active exploration and tangible achievements in digital transformation and integrated multi-platform dissemination.

Over the years, the university has consistently regarded the development of academic journals as a key lever for enhancing disciplinary influence and advancing international exchange and cooperation, providing the Journal of Forestry Research with comprehensive resource support and strategic guidance. Looking ahead, the university will continue to support the journal in deepening its disciplinary focus and pursuing innovative development, further strengthening its international academic voice and contributing scholarly strength to the high-quality development of forestry as a discipline and to global ecological governance.
