Additionally, there are 10 journals centered on humanities and social sciences, of which 6 are indexed by the Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI) and its expanded versions. Among the 20 journals indexed by SCIE or ESCI, 13 hold a Q1 ranking. Three of these journals boast the highest impact factor globally in their respective fields.
Drawing on Tsinghua University's robust disciplinary strengths, TUP actively broadens international and domestic academic resources, accelerating the development of diverse fields, such as nanoscience, information science, physical science and engineering, life science and medicine, climate change, energy and environment, and humanities and social sciences. The collection of information science journals has evolved into the most extensive assemblage of English-language professional journals in the field of information science in China.
TUP has joined various prominent international publishing industry associations and standardization organizations, including the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Association of Scientific, Technical and Medical Publishers (STM), the Association of Learned and Professional Society Publishers (ALPSP), Crossref, and Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID). Through these affiliations, Tsinghua University Press has established strategic partnerships with leading enterprises in the global academic publishing and services sector, thus achieving complete integration into the global academic publishing system.
In 2022, TUP launched an international digital publishing platform SciOpen, which provides free access to more than 180 journals across diverse academic disciplines and serves to meet the research needs of scientific communities.
