AbstractEconomic Survey is a professional journal in the filed of economic management sponsored by Henan University of Finance and Economics and Law. For nearly 20 years, it has been a Chinese Social Sciences Citation Index (CSSCI) Source Journal, with its impact factor continuously increasing. From 2023 to 2024, it ranks in the upper-middle tier among the core journals listed in the index. Over the past 20 years, the journal has consistently focused on the significant strategic demands of the nation, concentrating on the underlying logical research behind these demands. It primarily targets the study of economic development issues in China’s underdeveloped regions, highlighting two distinctive columns on regional economy and agricultural, rural and farmer issues. The journal has established a thematic structure of papers with high-frequency keywords such as “Economic Growth”, “Financial Development”, “Technological Innovation and Progress”, “Industrial Structure” and “Regional Economy and Regional Disparities”. Additionally, it has also recently focused on areas such as “Digital Economy”, “Environmental Issues”, “Regional Coordination” and “Rural Revitalization”. The 20-year highly cited papers highlight topics such as green finance, green technology and corporate governance related to new development concepts and scientific development concepts. To meet the developing needs of the journal, the editorial department focuses on the professionalization of the editorial team, the diversification of the authors and the accuracy of peer reviewers, strictly manages the manuscript process and strengthens digital communication. The future development of the journal will expand manuscript sources through multiple channels, optimize external review teams and explore artificial intelligence manuscript systems.
