XinRui Journal Ranking (“XinRui Ranking” for short) was officially launched by XinRui Scholar in 2026 (retroactive to 2020). With a global outlook, it reshapes the landscape of academic evaluation and aims to build a forward-looking paradigm for assessment.

The XinRui Ranking system integrates leading international journals across the fields of natural sciences, engineering and technology, medicine, management science, social sciences, and the humanities and arts. It covers, but is not limited to, databases such as SCIE, SSCI, AHCI, and ESCI, and establishes a comprehensive, cross-disciplinary academic journal evaluation framework.

With data as its foundation and intelligence as its engine, XinRui Ranking uses large language models and AI algorithms to move beyond single metrics and dimensions. It turns data aggregation into insight and ranking tools into support for disciplinary development. Journal early warnings are integrated directly into Pyramid Tiers through the Under Review label, with dynamic monitoring and continuous improvement for a more prudent and trustworthy evaluation system.

Within the global research ecosystem, XinRui Scholar fosters deeper collaboration and dialogue with publishers, academic organizations, and the broader research community, promoting the international engagement and visibility of China’s evaluation systems.

As a non-profit initiative led by the independent third party XinRui Scholar, XinRui Ranking is dedicated to providing open and free services. It seeks to establish a transparent, equitable, and sustainable evaluation infrastructure, enabling broader recognition of high-quality journals and a more accurate reflection of scholarly value.
