Dear staff, students and customers,

Following the official announcement from the Chinese Academy of Sciences Literature and Information Centre, the online platform and supporting services of the CAS Journal Ranking will be permanently shut down on 30 September 2026. After the shutdown, account login and data query will no longer be available. In light of the Citation Index Report services provided by the Intellectual Property Information Service Centre, relevant adjustments are notified as follows:

1) Starting from 1 October 2026, the Intellectual Property Information Service Centre will no longer issue any Citation Index Report containing CAS Journal Ranking data, as the official data source will be unavailable.

2) Citation Index Report services for literature in Web of Science, Scopus, Ei, CSSCI, ESI Highly Cited Papers, JCR Journal Impact Factor, and JCR quartiles remain unaffected and will continue as usual.

3) Effective 1 October 2026, the XJTLU Intellectual Property Information Service Centre will adopt a new version of the Application Form for Citation and Indexing Services, which is attached for your reference.
