The list of the third quarter of 2021 collected 934 influential academic official accounts of various disciplines and included and analyzed more than 100000 tweets posted from July 1 to September 30, 2021.

The communication power of the periodical Wechat comes from the total dissemination volume of the journal as a result of being reported by the official account. When the name of the journal appears in the title of the official account tweet, and the tweet is reported on the journal, the reading of the tweet is counted in the total dissemination of the journal.

Dynamic of the list

In the third quarter of 2021, the Wechat communication power list of the leading global academic journals continued to change dynamically. 111journals appeared on the list for the first time, 31 journals returned to the list after being absent in the second quarter, and 60% remained on the list for three consecutive quarters. In terms of periodical ranking, 58.2% of journals improved in ranking, including 142 new journals and 149 consecutive journals on the list; another 196 journals fell in the rankings, and only 13 journals ranked the same as in the previous quarter.

The number of Chinese periodicals on the list continued to increase in this quarter, which is related to the new official accounts included in the academic official account database of the leading Research Network in the third quarter. most of them are official account of Chinese periodicals, with a natural emphasis on the dissemination of Chinese periodicals. many of them are included after being submitted to the lead research network on their own initiative.

The analysis shows that 53.43% of the communication power of new Chinese journals comes from newly collected official accounts, while this index of overseas journals is only 10.28%. Correspondingly, 84.17% of the communication power generated by these new official accounts went to new Chinese periodicals on the list. Thanks to the increase in the total number of official accounts and the improvement of data measurement accuracy, more Wechat tweets that participate in the dissemination or promotion of journals have been included in the measurement scope, which has led to an increase in the total dissemination volume of the list. as a result, the average dissemination power of journals on the list increased as a whole, while the average dissemination power of Chinese journals increased by 19.57%, significantly higher than that of overseas journals.
