The journal has been indexed by databases such as SCI, EI, PubMed, and SCOPUS. With a JCR impact factor of 31.6 in 2023, it has entered the world's top 100. It ranks among the top 3% globally in the three disciplines of materials science, nanoscience and nanotechnology, and applied physics. The journal is an English echelon journal of the second phase project of the Excellent Action Plan for Chinese Science and Technology Journals. It has consistently ranked as a Top journal in the first quartile of materials science in the Journal Ranking for many years. It has won numerous honors, such as "China's Most Internationally Influential Academic Journal", "Outstanding Science and Technology Journal of Chinese Universities", and "Shanghai's Excellent Science and Technology Journal". In 2021, it was nominated for the Journal Award of the China Publishing Government Award.
Translational Neuroscience, founded in 2014, is the world's first open-access English journal focusing on translational neurodegenerative disease research. The journal covers all subfields of neuroscience (such as behavior, cognition, computation, development and regeneration, molecular, neuroaging, neuroanatomy, neurobiology, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, methodology, neurotoxicology, and systems neuroscience), as well as related research in the fields of neurology, neurosurgery, and psychiatry. With a JCR impact factor of 10.8 in 2023, the journal has risen to the 13th place among 310 global neuroscience journals. It has ranked in the first quartile of medicine in the Journal Ranking for many consecutive years.
Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science is a journal of ocean engineering and science founded by Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2016, relying on the "Double First-Class" discipline of naval architecture and ocean engineering. The journal publishes original research achievements in the field of ocean engineering and science globally, mainly including research, design, experiment, production, use, and other aspects of scientific research progress in the directions of ocean engineering and ocean science. Since its inception, it has been indexed by databases such as SCIE, Scopus, DOAJ, and Inspec. For two consecutive years, its JCR impact factor has ranked first in the world in both the disciplines of ocean engineering and naval architecture. The journal is an English echelon journal of the second phase project of the Excellent Action Plan for Chinese Science and Technology Journals. It is included in the first quartile of engineering and technology in the Journal Ranking, and is classified as T1 in naval architecture science by the Chinese Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers in the "Compilation of High-Quality Science and Technology Journal Classification Catalogue" in 2024. It has won the honor of "China's Most Internationally Influential Academic Journal".
China Finance Review International is a full English academic journal reflecting the latest research achievements in economics and finance. Since its establishment in 2011, it has been indexed by more than 20 international well-known databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, etc., and has also been recognized by authoritative rating institutions such as ABDC, ABS Journal List, FMS, and AMI Journal List. In 2023, its JCR impact factor ranked third globally in the fields of business and finance. Since its inclusion in the Journal Ranking in 2023, the journal has consistently ranked in the first quartile of economics.
Superconductivity is an international academic journal focusing on the latest research in the field of superconductivity, aiming to promote academic exchanges and knowledge dissemination in this field. The journal aims to create an international top academic journal focusing on the applied research of superconductivity and provide a platform for global researchers to showcase their achievements. Currently, the journal has been indexed by multiple global authoritative academic paper databases, such as ESCI, EI, Scopus, and DOAJ. With a JCR impact factor of 5.6 in 2023, it is currently the journal with the highest impact factor in the global superconductivity field and the only journal ranked in the JCR Q1 partition. The journal is a newly launched journal with a high starting point in the Excellent Action Plan for Chinese Science and Technology Journals in 2021. Only three years after its establishment, it was ranked as a Top journal in the first quartile of physics and astrophysics in the Journal Ranking for the first time, marking that Superconductivity has quickly entered the core stage of international superconductivity research and demonstrating the excellent growth rate and academic leadership of the "New Chinese Journal".
Molecular Horticulture is a new journal of horticulture sponsored by Shanghai Jiao Tong University. The journal focuses on molecular regulatory mechanisms and pays attention to translational research from model plants to horticultural crops. It provides a global academic exchange platform for scientists engaged in horticulture-related research and promotes the transformation from basic horticultural research with molecular breeding as the core to application. Since its establishment in 2021, it has been indexed by 21 databases, including SCIE, PubMed Central, Scopus, and DOAJ. With a JCR impact factor of 10.0 in 2023, it ranks first globally in the field of horticulture.

It was ranked in the second quartile of agriculture and forestry science in the Journal Ranking for the first time, further enhancing its international academic influence.
Under the strong leadership of the University Party Committee, the construction of academic journals at our university has always been guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era. Closely centered around the goal of "Double First-Class" construction, the academic influence has been greatly enhanced. At the critical juncture of the conclusion of the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the planning of the "15th Five-Year Plan", the journal cluster of Shanghai Jiao Tong University will implement the spirit of the Two Sessions, stand at the forefront of global academia, build a scientific and technological innovation source platform, gather global academic talents, and write a new chapter for the academic journals of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in "cultivating and strengthening the national strategic scientific and technological strength and providing strong support for achieving high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and strength".
