Strategic Study of CAE (SSCAE) is an academic journal supervised by the Chinese Academy of Engineering. This journal mainly publishes research findings from strategic consulting in engineering science and technology, forward-looking studies across various fields of engineering and industrial development, and comprehensive research outcomes pertaining to major scientific and technological breakthroughs and significant engineering projects. It aims to encourage academic achievements, guide industry development, and provide a reference for scientific decision-making of relevant government departments.
SSCAE is one of the source journals for both Core Journals of China and Chinese Scientific and Technical Papers and Citations (CSTPCD). It is one of the “Chinese-language leading journals” in the Phase II of the Excellence Action Plan for China's STM Journals, and one of the 100 Outstanding Academic Journals of China 2022. The Journal Impact Factor (JIF) of the journal released by CNKI, CSCD, CSTPCD in 2024 was 8.79, 2.564, and 4.081, respectively, ranking first among journals in the category of Basic Disciplines of Engineering and Technological Science.
