Scientific journal Collagen and Leather, co-sponsored by Sichuan University and the China Leather Industry Association, has achieved a major milestone in academic publishing.
The journal has achieved inclusion in two prestigious international databases: the Emerging Sources Citation Index (ESCI) and the Engineering Index (EI).
This recognition places Collagen and Leather among a small number of scientific journals in the leather sector to receive global indexing.
The journal’s inclusion reflects a broader trend of increasing international visibility for leather-related research, particularly in areas like sustainable materials, advanced manufacturing and biobased innovations.
According to projections, Collagen and Leather is expected to receive its first Journal Citation Reports (JCR) Impact Factor in June 2025, with estimates placing it between 8.5 and 9.0.
Managing Editor Ms Qixian Zhang expressed hope that the journal will continue to serve as a global platform for cutting-edge research and international collaboration in leather science and technology.
