<p indent="0mm">In recent years, with the increasing support for academic publishing in China, the development of academic publishing in China is facing good opportunities. Under this background, first, we should conscientiously study and summarize the experience of international and domestic academic publishing, accurately understand the nature of academic publishing, which is an integral part of scientific research, an important field of cultural work, and the core sector of cultural industry; second, to promote the prosperous development of academic publishing in China, we should pay close attention to the international and domestic progress and trends, including the new advances in digital technology, the high concentration trend of international academic and professional publishing, the influence of open science on the publishing industry, etc. At present, professional publishing has experienced a development path from paper publishing to online databases and digital decision-making tools and has formed a mature modern academic publishing process. We should not only learn from the advanced experience of international academic publishing, but also realistically summarize and analyze the experience and problems of domestic academic publishing since the reform and opening-up, fully realize the significance of academic publishing in promoting scientific and technological innovation and economic and social development, and continuously improve the level of academic publishing in our country, to better serve the national scientific and technological innovation strategy and provide strong support for our country’s high level of self-reliance in science and technology. Finally, Chinese publishers should have lofty pursuits, strive to establish a relatively complete publishing system that also participates in international competition, and serve China’s economic, technological, and cultural development, and the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.
