Founded in 1932, the Chinese Chemical Society (CCS) has more than 65,000 individual members and 151 organizational members. In addition to CCS Chemistry, its flagship journal, CCS co-publishes 26 academic journals in Chinese and English with a number of Chinese institutions and organizations.
The percentage of articles by Chinese researchers published in all chemistry journals has nearly tripled since 2000 and now exceeds the number published by American authors.
