Using bibliometrical analysis method

this study analyzed the paper productivity

research institutions

index term

cited literature and citation literature of 49565 journal papers published in the journals of CIESC Journal

AIChE Journal

Chemical Engineering Science (CES) and Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research (IECR) during the last 20 years (1996-2015) from Scifinder Web database. It will provide a valuable reference for the construction of “Double World-class” and the development of academic periodicals in chemical engineering fields. The paper productivity and the ranking of Chinese research institutions were increased

which indicated the strong development momentum and international influence of Chinese chemical research in recent years. At the same time

the academic research of chemical engineering in domestic institutions has become increasingly active. In the past

the high-level academic papers were only published by a few leading scientific research institutions. However

the phenomenon was changed over time. In addition

the research focus and hotspot between the CIESC Journal and the three mainstream journals AIChE Journal

CES and IECR were similar. During recent 10 years (2006-2015)

in the research fields of “polymer morphology”

“ionic liquids” and “nanoparticles”

the Chinese institutions had larger contribution to the three major international periodicals of chemical engineering.
