Recently, the Journal of Beijing Normal University (Social Science Edition) was rated as Excellent International Impact Academic Journals of China, which is the fourth time the journal has received this award.

The Center for International Evaluation of Chinese Academic Literature of CNKI and the Library of Tsinghua University jointly developed and published the Annual Report for International Citation of Chinese Academic Journals to the academic circles at home and abroad every year to comprehensively evaluate the international influence of China's academic journals. The report selected more than 20,000 journals, both domestic and international, for literature measurement. It used two basic evaluation indicators, Total Citation (TC) and Influence Factor (IF), as the index of influence of evaluation journals, which comprehensively reflected the academic influence and quality of academic journals. Those that ranked top 5%-10% in the list of influence index were rated Excellent International Impact Academic Journals of China.

Since 2017, the Journal of Beijing Normal University (Social Science Edition) has been selected as Excellent International Impact Academic Journals of China for four consecutive years with its high academic level, editorial quality and publication forces.
