Abstract：The value of chemical engineering theory research is reflected not only in citations within academia but also in its potential contributions to technological innovation in the chemical industry. 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 The Lens. Headquartered in Brisbane, Australia, The Lens is a non-profit open knowledge platform that links over 280 million scholarly literature records with over 160 million patent documents, constructing the world's largest open scholarly-patent asso-ciation graph. The journal focuses on the theoretical foundations 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 The Lens will allow the journal's research outputs to enter the academic-industry inno-vation network, where they can be discovered and cited by R&D personnel in chemical companies and patent examiners. This article, taking into account the journal's positioning, analyzes the practical value of this indexing.
