On October 27, the Annual Report for International Citation of Chinese Academic Journals (2023 Edition) was released at the Fourth High-level Forum on the International Influence of Chinese Academic Journals. 

For 12 consecutive years, China Knowledge and Tsinghua University Library have jointly developed and published the International Citation Yearbook of Chinese Academic Journals, which objectively reflects the influence and discourse of China's academic journals in the field of international academic research by counting the citations of international journals to Chinese journals. The statistical sources used in the International Citation of Chinese Academic Journals (2023 Edition) include international journals, conference papers, books, etc., of which 23,572 journals are international statistical sources. 

The Annual Report of International Citation of Chinese Academic Journals (2023 Edition) calculates the influence index CI for Chinese academic journals divided into two groups: social sciences and science and technology, and selects journals within the TOP 5% as "The Highest International Impact Academic Journals of China", and journals within the TOP 5% and TOP 10% as "China's Outstanding Academic Journals with International Influence", which are collectively known as TOP journals with international influence. 

International Soil and Water Conservation Research (ISWCR) hosted by the IRTCES was selected as "The Highest International Impact Academic Journals of China (Natural Science)", and International Journal of Sediment Research (IJSR) was selected as "The Outstanding Academic Journal with International Impact of China (Natural Science)".
