Findings Overall, the output of think tank research results in the field of journal publishing is low, and they are rarely adopted by decision-makers. The scale and size of practitioners are small, and the funding source for think tank research is single. The function of journal publishing think tanks has not been effectively utilized. However, there is still significant room for development in the construction of academic journal publishing think tanks in China.
