The Journal of Zhengzhou University (Engineering Science) is a comprehensive academic journal of engineering science published in Zhengzhou, Henan, China. Its official website is at gxb.zzu.edu.cn, and its editorial office gives its address as No. 100 Science Avenue, Zhengzhou 450001, the address of Zhengzhou University itself. The journal carries the print ISSN 1671-6833 and the Chinese serial number CN 41-1339/T. It is governed by the Education Department of Henan Province, sponsored by Zhengzhou University, and published by the Editorial Department of Journal of Zhengzhou University (Engineering Science). It appears bimonthly, issued in odd months, so readers receive six issues a year covering the full breadth of engineering rather than a single specialty.
That breadth is the journal's defining feature. Where many Chinese university journals are confined to one faculty or one discipline, this title is explicitly described by its publisher as a comprehensive engineering journal. It has consistently been listed in the Chinese Core Journals of Peking University, in The Key Magazine of China Technology, and among the RCCSE Chinese Core Academic Journals. Those listings place it inside the core-journal system by which Chinese academic libraries and evaluation bodies identify the country's principal scholarly periodicals, and they help explain why the journal is a standard outlet for engineering research from Henan and from universities across China.
The journal was founded in 1980. It was formerly known as the Journal of Zhengzhou Institute of Technology, which carried ISSN 1000-517X and CN 41-1130/T, and then as the Journal of Zhengzhou University of Technology, with ISSN 1007-6492 and CN 41-5057/T. Those successive titles are not mere rebranding. They track, step by step, the institutional history of its sponsor, because the engineering institution in Zhengzhou itself changed its name and status over the same period, and its journal changed with it.
The original Zhengzhou University of Technology began in 1963 as the Zhengzhou Institute of Technology. Zhengzhou University's own history records that, from its founding in 1963 to its merger in 2000, the former Zhengzhou University of Technology, previously known as the Zhengzhou Institute of Technology, evolved into a prominent institution focusing on engineering, with multiple disciplines including arts, sciences and economics. It was a national key university under the direct administration of the former Ministry of Chemical Industry of China, a background that helps account for the lasting strength of chemical engineering in the journal's scope. A journal launched in 1980, seventeen years into that institute's life, therefore began as the scholarly voice of a specialist technological institute, publishing the work of its mechanical, chemical and civil engineers for a national readership.
On 10 July 2000 the present Zhengzhou University was established through the merger of three institutions: the original Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou University of Technology, and Henan Medical University. The original Zhengzhou University, founded in 1956, is described by the university as the first comprehensive university established after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it had been admitted to Project 211 in 1996. Henan Medical University traced its origins to medical education begun in 1928 in Kaifeng and later relocated to Zhengzhou. The merged university covers twelve fields of study, including science, engineering, medicine, literature, history, philosophy, law, economics, management science, pedagogy, agriculture and arts.
For the journal, the merger meant a change of sponsor, of name and of scale. It ceased to be the journal of a single technological institute and became the engineering journal of a large comprehensive university, taking its present title, Journal of Zhengzhou University (Engineering Science). The parenthetical qualifier matters within the university's publishing system: a comprehensive university of this size sustains journals in several broad fields, and the Engineering Science edition is the one that carries the engineering faculties. Its ISSN and CN number changed with the title, to the current 1671-6833 and 41-1339/T, while the founding date of 1980 was retained — a statement, in bibliographic form, that the present journal is the continuation of the 1980 institute journal, not a new publication created in 2000.
The journal states its aims plainly on its official site. It aims to track the frontiers of engineering science both domestically and internationally, focusing on new theories, new achievements and new technologies in the field, promoting the transformation and application of engineering technology achievements, and serving the development of national engineering science and the progress of engineering technology. It publishes innovative academic papers on research, development and applications in engineering science.
Two emphases in that statement are worth noting. The first is the pairing of theory with application: the journal seeks basic theoretical results and applied research and engineering technology alike, and its indexing description likewise says it publishes the latest research results of basic theory, applied research and engineering technology of various engineering disciplines. The second is transformation — turning research achievements into usable technology. That is a mission well matched to a provincial comprehensive university whose engineering work is expected to serve regional industry, infrastructure and water management as well as the international research literature. The stated readership follows from the mission: faculty and students of higher education institutions, researchers, and engineering technicians.
The journal mainly publishes research papers in Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science and Technology, Hydraulic Engineering, Control Science and Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Power Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Material Engineering and Environmental Science and Engineering, as well as interdisciplinary engineering science fields. Earlier descriptions of the scope use closely similar lists, naming automatic control technology alongside electrical and power engineering, and chemical engineering and material engineering as a paired area.
Read as a whole, the list covers the classic branches of a technological university. Mechanical and civil engineering represent the oldest institute disciplines; hydraulic engineering reflects Henan's position in the Yellow River basin and the importance of water works in the province; electrical, power and control engineering cover energy and automation; computer science and technology adds the information disciplines; chemical and materials engineering continue the sponsor's chemical-industry heritage; and environmental science and engineering addresses the consequences of all the others. The explicit welcome for interdisciplinary engineering work allows papers that sit between those branches — mechatronics, smart infrastructure, or environmental materials, for example — to be considered within a single journal rather than excluded as falling between specialties.
The journal organises its contents through key columns including Electrical Engineering and Energy Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Power Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering and Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering and Traffic Engineering, and Chemical Engineering and Materials Engineering. Alongside these standing columns it runs special columns, among them Intelligent Science and Information Engineering, Intelligent Robotics Technology, Intelligent Integrated Energy, Water Security and Ecological Protection in the Yellow River Basin, Energy Storage Science and Technology, and Urban Flood Prevention and Control.
The special columns show where the journal's editors see current research energy. Intelligent science, robotics and integrated energy point to the automation and energy-transition agenda in contemporary Chinese engineering, while water security in the Yellow River Basin and urban flood prevention and control are rooted in place: Zhengzhou and Henan have direct experience of extreme rainfall and urban waterlogging. That local relevance is visible in the journal's published articles. Its 2023 volume, for example, carried work on flood risk and control in urban underground spaces with extreme rainfall, and a study simulating urban waterlogging and evaluating emergency response capacity for a district of Zhengzhou itself under extreme rainstorm conditions, using a drainage and waterlogging model of the city's pipe network. A comprehensive university journal that can publish both general engineering theory and modelled analysis of its own city's flood risk illustrates the combination of national scope and regional duty in its aims.
The journal reports inclusion in a long list of domestic and international databases. Internationally, it has been included in Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), Science Abstracts of INSPEC, the Abstract Journal of VINITI, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts of ProQuest, EBSCOhost, Mathematical Reviews, Ulrich's Periodicals Directory, Index Copernicus, the Academic and Scholarly Research Publication Center (EuroPub) and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ). In January 2026 the journal announced that it had been officially indexed by EuroPub, the database of the European Academic Publishing Centre in the United Kingdom, presenting that addition as further international recognition of its academic quality and editorial standards.
Domestically, its listed services include A Guide to the Core Journals of China, the Chinese Scientific and Technology Papers and Citation Database, the National Science and Technology Journal Open Platform, China Open Access Journals, the SciEngine platform, RCCSE, the China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database, the China Academic Journal Comprehensive Evaluation Database, the China Academic Journals CD Edition, the China Core Journal Alternative Database, the China Science Periodical Database, the China Science and Technology Journal Database, the Superstar Journals database and Chinese Science Abstracts. The journal is also indexed in the Q2 zone of the World Journal Clout Index (WJCI) Report and is a source journal for that report. For authors, this combination matters practically: a paper in the journal is discoverable through the chemical, physics and engineering abstracting services that engineers actually search, as well as through the Chinese citation databases used in domestic research evaluation.
The journal states that it has repeatedly earned top national honours, including the titles of National Excellent University Journal and First-Prize Winner of the National Excellent Sci-Tech University Journals, as well as Outstanding Sci-Tech Journal, Outstanding Team and Outstanding Editor-in-Chief recognition in the Demonstration Case Library for the Construction of Sci-Tech Journals of Chinese Universities. University journals form a distinct and competitive category in Chinese scholarly publishing, since hundreds of universities publish similar comprehensive titles, so repeated national recognition within that category is a meaningful marker of editorial quality rather than a routine claim.
Its standing should be understood in those terms. This is not a narrow specialist title competing with international disciplinary journals in one field; it is the flagship engineering record of a Project 211, Double First-Class comprehensive university, carrying core-journal status in the Chinese system, a continuous run since 1980, and a scope that mirrors the engineering faculties behind it. Researchers looking for applied engineering work from central China — on hydraulics, flood control, materials, power systems or intelligent manufacturing — will encounter it as a matter of course.
The journal is published bimonthly by its editorial department at Zhengzhou University, with the editorial office reachable, according to the official site, by email at gxb@zzu.edu.cn and by telephone at 0371-67781276 and 0371-67781277. The site names Shao Guosheng as chair of the editorial board and Xiang Sa as executive chief editor. Its website, http://gxb.zzu.edu.cn, provides the journal's introduction, aims and scope, indexing information, selected covers and author guidance in Chinese and in English, making the journal accessible to international readers who wish to identify its scope or cite its articles correctly.
In summary, the Journal of Zhengzhou University (Engineering Science) is a bimonthly, Chinese comprehensive engineering journal founded in 1980 as the Journal of Zhengzhou Institute of Technology, renamed through the Journal of Zhengzhou University of Technology, and now sponsored by the merged Zhengzhou University in Henan. With ISSN 1671-6833, core-journal listings, broad coverage across ten named engineering fields plus interdisciplinary work, and indexing from Chemical Abstracts and INSPEC to DOAJ and the Chinese citation databases, it stands as a durable and representative example of the Chinese university engineering journal at its most comprehensive.
