Recently, Microbiota Medicine Research (ISSN 2097-6941), an international English-language journal jointly established by the Second Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University (NMU) and Higher Education Press, and globally published by Wiley, was selected, in its inaugural year, for the 2025 “Excellence Action Plan” High-Starting-Point New Journal program . The selection came after a rigorous review process involving project application, qualification assessment, panel evaluation, and final verification. As China’s largest, best-funded, and most wide-ranging national initiative to strengthen scientific journals, the program aims to promote the high-quality development of domestic scientific publishing, cultivate a cohort of world-class academic journals, and support the nation’s strategic goal of building itself into a leading country in science and technology.
