Abstract：Journal of Vocational Education (ISSN 3080-8049, eISSN 3080-8057, CODEN: ZDABBU, DOI prefix: https://doi.org/10.66106/zdabbu) has recently been officially indexed by Baidu Scholar. As the largest academic search engine in China,Baidu Scholar underwent an AI restructuring in August 2025, launching dozens of new AI capabilities including AI academic search, AI literature summarization, AI reading, and paper knowledge graphs, transforming from a traditional academic search engine into a one-stop AI academic platform. Currently, Baidu Scholar has indexed over 2.7 billion academic resource pages and collected more than 700 million academic documents, providing nearly 3 billion services annually to tens of millions of academic users. Unlike Google Scholar, which targets the global market, Baidu Scholar focuses on the Chinese context, with unique advantages in Chinese literature coverage, Chinese search habits, and domestic scholar database construction. This indexing by Baidu Scholar will enable the journal's research outputs to leverage AI technology for intelligent recommendation and precise targeting, while better serving domestic vocational education researchers. This article analyzes the platform features of Baidu Scholar from the perspective of AI-powered academic search and introduces the journal's positioning and vision.
