Abstract：Academic dissemination is moving from “one-way publishing” to “socialized interaction.” Chemical Engineering Theory (ISSN 3105-7470, eISSN 3105-7489, CODEN: HGLAA6, DOI prefix: https://doi.org/10.66106/hglaa6, Import Regis-tration Number: G015Z120), a gold open-access Chinese-language bimonthly journal published by Quest Press Limited, has recently joined Academia.edu, achieving bilingual (Chinese and English) full-text dissemination of the journal‘s research outputs. Academia.edu is a leading global platform for academic resource sharing and exchange, integrating literature manage-ment, academic social networking, and multidisciplinary resource aggregation. It has indexed over 40 million academic articles covering more than 270 disciplinary fields and is often referred to as the “Facebook for researchers.” Unlike traditional databas-es, the core value of Academia.edu lies in constructing a two-way dialogue mechanism between researchers and journals. The journal focuses on the theoretical foundations and frontier innovations of chemical engineering, covering areas such as chemical engineering thermodynamics, reaction engineering, transport phenomena, and process systems 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. By joining Academia.edu, the journal will leverage its social dissemination features to establish direct connections with global chemical engineering researchers and engineers, opening a new window for bilingual academic dialogue. This arti-cle, taking into account the journal’s positioning, analyzes the practical value of this move.
