Objective  To analyze the characteristics and current situation of pharmaceutical journals sponsored by institutions in China, so as to improve the utilization, quality and dissemination effect of pharmaceutical journals, provide a basis for scientific evaluation and journal quality management, and provide a reference for readers to choose core journals, focus on reading and submitting.

Methods  The data of pharmaceutical journals sponsored by domestic institutions in China were collected in the "China Science and Technology Journals Citation Report (Core Edition)" compiled by the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China in 2023. This paper analyzes the characteristics and current situation of pharmaceutical journals sponsored by institutions in China, and investigates the number, citation frequency, impact factor, and regional distribution of pharmaceutical journals included in the core catalog of science and technology.

Results  A total of 48 core journals of pharmaceutical science and technology sponsored by domestic institutions were retrieved, and the publication cycle was mainly monthly (52.08%). The Chinese Pharmaceutical Association is the institution with the largest number of core journals (15); In terms of quantity, 15 core pharmaceutical journals in Beijing ranked first, ranking 2nd to 4th: Shanghai (6), Hubei (4), Jiangsu (4); The average total citation frequency in Chongqing was 3123 times, and the average total citation frequency was the highest.

Conclusion  The distribution of core pharmaceutical journals shows obvious advantages in economically developed regions such as Beijing and Shanghai. The Chinese Pharmaceutical Association, China Pharmaceutical University and the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and other institutions have sponsored many pharmaceutical academic journals, with a relatively complete journal system and rich experience in running journals.
