On December 24, the "China Academic Journal International Citation Report (2024 Edition)", jointly compiled by CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and Tsinghua University Press, released the list of China's Most Internationally Influential Academic Journals. By counting citations of 7,138 Chinese journals in international journals, the International Citation and Communication Index (ICCI) was calculated separately for four categories: scientific and technological English journals, scientific and technological Chinese journals, social science English journals, and social science Chinese journals. Based on the ICCI in descending order, 330 journals were selected as "China's Most Internationally Influential Academic Journals" and 330 as "China's Excellent Internationally Influential Academic Journals" (referred to as TOP journals).

Both academic journals hosted by International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES) were successfully included in the list. Among them, International Soil and Water Conservation Research (ISWCR) was selected into the "China's Most Internationally Influential Academic Journals (Natural Sciences and Engineering Technology)", and International Journal of Sediment Research (IJSR) was selected into the "China's Excellent Internationally Influential Academic Journals (Natural Sciences and Engineering Technology)".

This list has been widely recognized by the journal community and scientific research management departments, playing a positive and important role in helping Chinese journals enter the international stage, and establishing international academic brands. The inclusion of the two journals hosted by IRTCES objectively reflects their high-quality presentation of high-level research results and their extensive influence in the international academic research field.

International Soil and Water Conservation Research (ISWCR) was officially launched in June 2013. It is an English-language academic quarterly supervised by the Ministry of Water Resources and jointly sponsored by the International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation, China Water & Power Press Co., Ltd., and China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research. The journal mainly publishes research and review articles in fields such as soil erosion, soil and water conservation, conservation agriculture, soil evaluation and management, land degradation, watershed management, and sustainable development. In 2024, it was selected into the "English Single Journal Echelon" project under the second phase of the China Science and Technology Journal Excellence Action Plan.

International Journal of Sediment Research (IJSR) was founded in 1986. Supervised by the Ministry of Water Resources and jointly hosted by the International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation, China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research, and Tsinghua University, it is an English-language bimonthly journal. It serves as a platform for scholars and engineers both at home and abroad engaged in river sediment and watershed management to exchange scientific and technological achievements and conduct academic discussions. In addition to publishing content related to sediment transport mechanics and fluvial processes, it also covers topics such as geography, geomorphology, soil erosion, watershed sediment yield, soil and water conservation, the impact of sediment on the environment and ecology, and assessments of social and economic issues caused by sediment, encompassing all sediment-related problems across entire watersheds from river sources to estuaries. In 2024, it was once again selected into the "English Single Journal Echelon" project under the China Science and Technology Journal Excellence Action Plan.
