The 2024 Annual Report on the Reprint Index of Copied Journals and Newspapers, developed by the China Renmin University Information Center for Books and Newspapers, was recently released. Based on the full-text reprint data from the academic journal series included in the center’s copied materials for the year 2024, the report evaluates journals and institutions across three dimensions: total reprint volume, reprint rate, and a comprehensive index. The reprint index has been publicly published for 25 consecutive years in major outlets such as Guangming Daily and serves as an objective reflection of the academic performance of journals and research institutions in the humanities and social sciences in China.

In the ranking of comprehensive indices for institutions affiliated with higher education in the field of applied economics, our institute ranked third nationwide, with a comprehensive index score of 0.888100. The top two institutions were the School of Finance and Economics at Renmin University of China and the Business School at Nanjing University.

This institutional reprint index is widely regarded as a key indicator of the academic influence of major research institutions in the humanities and social sciences in China. Our institute’s outstanding performance in this ranking highlights the remarkable achievements of our ongoing efforts in discipline development and demonstrates the strong research capabilities of our faculty in the field of applied economics.
