Guangxi Economy has recently been officially invited for inclusion in the EBSCO academic database, with full-text indexing commencing from Issue No. 1, 2026. This marks the journal’s first inclusion in a globally recognised academic research database since its establishment, representing a significant milestone in its international academic development.

Widely regarded as an important indicator of academic quality, publishing standards, and international visibility, inclusion in the EBSCO database reflects growing global recognition of the journal’s scholarly value and influence. Since its comprehensive restructuring in 2024, Guangxi Economy, guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, has remained committed to serving the development needs of Guangxi while focusing on key areas including China-ASEAN openness and cooperation and the high-quality development of China’s border economy. The journal has actively contributed to the development of theoretical frameworks for border economics in the new era and continuously provided intellectual support for national and regional economic development. In its invitation letter, EBSCO stated: “After rigorous evaluation by EBSCO’s internal review team, your publication has been recognised as possessing significant academic value worthy of global dissemination. Therefore, we sincerely hope to include Guangxi Economy in the EBSCO scholarly database. We look forward to contributing to the enhancement of the journal’s academic communication capacity and brand influence, while helping increase its visibility and usage worldwide.”

Founded in 1944, EBSCO is one of the world’s largest academic information service providers, serving as a major platform connecting universities, researchers, libraries, and publishers worldwide. More than 16,000 publishers are currently indexed in EBSCO, while the platform processes approximately 292 million academic searches daily. EBSCO further noted in its letter: “Through inclusion in our database, we will help the journal achieve broader dissemination within domestic and international academic communities and related fields. In many cases, both authors and journals benefit from increased citation rates, thereby attracting new subscribers from around the world and further enhancing international influence.”

The development of Guangxi Economy has been made possible through the strong support and strategic guidance of Guangxi University, as well as the sustained efforts of the School of Economics in all aspects of the journal’s editorial and publishing work. The Editorial Office of Guangxi Economy extends its sincere gratitude to the university leadership, editorial board members, peer reviewers, and contributors for their continued support and dedication. Looking ahead, Guangxi Economy will continue to uphold its academic mission by strengthening scholarly exchange, promoting high-quality research, and enhancing its international academic presence. The journal remains committed to building a respected academic platform with both strong domestic influence and growing international recognition.
