摘      要：The fronts of a subject could be perceived from the publications of top journals. We investigated four top journals on chemical engineering: AIChE Journal, Chemical Engineering Science, Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research and Chemical Engineering Journal. Based on Web of Science, in the last five years, these four journals have published 21062 papers, including 590 highly cited papers and 31 “hot papers among which only 7 are from Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research and all the others from Chemical Engineering Journal (data obtained on November 17, 2018). The traditional research “Pure and pseudo-pure fluid thermophysical property evaluation and the open-source thermophysical property library CoolProp is the most cited paper published in 2014 [1]. Both highly cited and “hot papers were published in 2017 on electrodes of supercapacitors [2]. But researches on environmental science and engineering have been paid most attention with 17 of 27 both highly cited and “hot papers on this research area. The most cited and “hottest paper is “Boron nitride-based materials for the removal of pollutants from aqueous solutions: A review in 2018 [3]. Over the past decades, research and technologies advancement in chemical science and engineering in China has expanded in a lightning speed globally. To meet the growing needs of knowledge exchange and understanding of the underlying scientific principles, we launched in 2007 a new journal named Frontiers of Chemical Engineering in China with all papers translated from the Chinese journals. Original research articles or reviews have been published since 2009. The new name Frontiers of Chemical Science and Engineering (FCSE) has begun only since 2011 and FCSE became one of the Transactions of the Chinese Academy of Engineering (CAE) in 2014. From CAE, we have received many supports, both academic and financial. Especially in the latest three years, we have organized some important Special Issues and Topics. For th
