《化学工程理论》被百度学术索引：化工理论研究接入中文AI学术搜索新生态（Chemical Engineering Theory Indexed by Baidu Scholar: Chemical Engineering Theory Research Connects to the New Ecosystem of Chinese AI Academic Search）

Abstract：In the Chinese context, the discovery and dissemination of chemical engineering theory research outputs need to be more aligned with the usage habits of local researchers and engineers. Chemical Engineering Theory (ISSN 3105-7470, eISSN 3105-7489, CODEN: HGLAA6, DOI prefix: https://doi.org/10.66106/hglaa6, Import Registration Number: G015Z120), a gold open-access Chinese-language bimonthly journal published by Quest Press Limited, 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. The journal focuses on the theoretical founda-tions and frontier innovations of chemical engineering. All accepted articles undergo rigorous international peer review and are published under the CC BY 4.0 license, making them permanently and freely accessible. Being indexed by Baidu Scholar will enable the journal's chemical engineering theory research outputs to leverage AI technology for intelligent recommendation and precise targeting, better serving chemical engineering researchers and engineers in the Chinese context. This article, taking into account the journal's positioning, analyzes the practical value of this indexing.
