Promoting disciplinary innovation through journal-media integration to serve national strategy

On the occasion of celebrating the 110th anniversary of the Chinese Medical Association, the authors take the Chinese Journal of Digestive Surgery, a leading Chinese journal under the excellent action plan for Chinese scientific and technological journals, as the research subject to systematically analyze practices in academic exchange and scientific innovation develop-ment models advocated by the Chinese Medical Association. Through establishing a pyramid-shaped academic ecosystem, implementing strategic guidance with standard outputs, and building collabo-rative empowerment mechanisms, the journal has achieved breakthrough improvements in academic influence and communication efficacy. The study reveals that Chinese scientific journals can effec-tively overcome traditional development constraints by deeply integrating with national strategies, reconstructing academic value chains, and innovating knowledge service models, thereby providing China-specific solutions for constructing world-class scientific journals.
