Abstract:

The Chinese Journal of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases had its first issue in 1983. Over the past 40 years, the journal witnesses the remarkable achievements in prevention and control of important parasitic diseases in China, marked by effective control of schistosomiasis (2015) and elimination of lymphatic filariasis (2007) and malaria (2021), and has been playing an important role providing academic exchange platform for research and control programs of parasitic diseases and parasitology, promoting domestic and international scientific exchanges. With the guidance of each editorial board, the journal strictly abides by the academic standards and perseveres the concept of presenting high-quality publication. The national and international impact of the journal has continuously increased. It has been included in important international databases such as Medline, Scopus, and Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD) (Class C) since 1989. It has been selected as one of Chinese Science and Technology Core Journals since 1987, Core Journals in Chinese since 1992 and the World Journal Clout Index Report Scientific & Technological Periodicals (WJCI) since 2020, and was included in the High-Quality Scientific and Technological Journal Classification Catalog for Preventive Medicine and Health (2021 edition). It was also awarded as one of “the 100 Outstanding Chinese Academic Journals” (in 2009), “the First Prize of Excellent Medical and Health Journals of the Ministry of Health” (in 2005), “the First Prize of Excellent Journals of the National Health and Family Planning Commission” (in 2013), the First Prize and the Excellent Journal of “the Journal series of the Chinese Preventive Medicine Association” and “the Excellent Journal Award in East China Region”. In 2021, its core impact factor reached 1.743, the highest in its history, and continues its first rank among 31 core journals in medicine. The network informatization has been constructed since 2006, with "WeChat" platform established in 2016, which has raised the journal’s dissemination, service capacity and impact to a higher level. This article summarizes the 40-year history of the Chinese Journal of Parasitology and Parasitic Diseases, and prospects its future development direction.
