On October 26,Rongying Zhao, Professor at the SIM, Wuhan Universitypublished Improving the Discourse Power of Chinese Academic Journals in the Chinese Social Sciences Today, discussing the important measures to improve the discourse power of Chinese academic journals.

The article points out that academic journals have become an important carrier of academic communication and exchange and an important part of the global academic community. In international academic exchanges,the discourse power ofacademic journals has become an important part in international academicdiscourse power,and is playing an increasingly important role in the construction of the subject system, academic system and discourse system of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics. Chinese academic journals are the important spokespersons and powerful promoters for the world to truly understand China in academia, China in theory and China in philosophy and social sciences.

The article holds that to enhance the discourse power of Chinese academic journals, we must take Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics as the guide, adhere to the correct direction of managing journals, base ourselves on national conditions and face the world, and strive to find a development path for academic journals with Chinese characteristics. Firstly, we should hold high the flag, serve the overall situation, and enhance the discourse leadership of academic journals. Academic journals should keep up with global challenges and demand changes, actively set academic topics and academic frameworks, and effectively guide scholars to carry out research, which is the core measure to enhance the discourse leadership of academic journals. Secondly, to pursue excellence, innovation and development, and enhance the discourse influence of academic journals. The discourse influence of academic journals is mainly manifested in the discourse influence brought by the intrinsic value and quality of academic journals to the readers, and the discourse control brought by academic reputation, academic brand and academic quality to academic journals. Opening up cooperation channels, cultivating first-class journal teams, peer reviewers and authors, and pursuing excellence and innovative development are effective ways to enhance discourse influence. Thirdly, it is necessary to optimize the layout, standardize the development and enhance the discourse communication power of academic journals. In the process of knowledge dissemination in academic journals, although most of the content of dissemination comes from academic discourse subjects, the media and platform have the right to choose which subjects' academic discourse for dissemination. Therefore, which media, carriers or platforms are used for communication and how to make a sound play a key role in the formation of a powerful discourse communication force.
