[Beijing, China — September 17, 2025]

 

The Symposium on Building an Open Academic Ecosystem and Digital Publishing, initiated by the China International Association for Promotion of Science and Technology (CIAPST), was officially held on September 17, 2025, in Beijing. Participants engaged in lively discussions under the theme “Reshaping the Academic Ecosystem in the Context of Globalization and Digitalization.” Representatives from publishing institutions, scholars, and research organizations exchanged perspectives, sparking a dynamic collision of ideas.

 

One of the highlights of the symposium was the active participation of Bilingual Publishing Group. Editors-in-chief, editorial board members, and professors from disciplines including environmental science, linguistics, ecology, and engineering materials gathered to explore how academic journals can foster genuine knowledge sharing and cross-disciplinary communication. Their insights covered a broad spectrum of issues, ranging from research integrity and interdisciplinary collaboration to digital publishing and international cooperation, resonating strongly with the audience. Experts widely agreed that in the new era, academic publishing is no longer merely about “paper publication,” but rather about rebuilding the academic community. Bilingual publishing, multilingual dissemination, and cross-disciplinary platforms are increasingly seen as the future trends.

 

The symposium attracted significant attention from scholars both within China and abroad, many of whom expressed strong interest in journal publishing and potential collaboration. The academic enthusiasm demonstrated at the event underscored the growing integration of publishing and scientific research as a driving force for building a robust academic ecosystem.

As the symposium concluded, Bilingual Publishing Group continues to reflect on how to help research outcomes transcend disciplinary boundaries and language barriers, thereby enabling true global exchange and sharing. Looking ahead, the Group will further leverage its multidisciplinary journal portfolio, maintain rigorous publishing standards, and collaborate with scholars worldwide to promote an academic ecosystem that is more open, trustworthy, and sustainable.
