[Purposes]This paper conducts a comprehensive review of 48 English scientific journals indexed by SCIE under the supervision of the China Association for Science and Technology(CAST).The aim is to provide suggestions for improving these journals,offer references for the journal management departments to formulate relevant policies and top-level designs,and contribute to the advancement and enhancement of Chinese scientific journals.[Methods]We analyzed the general status,publication volume,proportion of international authors,international citation rate,impact factors,total cites,and open access ratio of these 48 journals by bibliometric methods,network research,and telephone surveys.[Findings]These journals have made significant progress in terms of academic quality and influence,with some achieving world-class standards.However,they face several issues,including imbalances in hosting regions and disciplinary fields,a need for stronger domestic publishing platforms,low publication volumes for some journals,limited international influence,and a relatively low proportion of open access articles in mixed journals.[Conclusions]Overall,the English scientific journals supervised by CAST are developing well.It is recommended to further strengthen policy guidance to promote the high quality development of more journals,aiming to be world first-class level.
