On January 1, 1959, the predecessor of China Science Daily, Science News, was founded in Beijing, making it the earliest science and technology newspaper in China. On January 1, 1989, it was renamed China Science Daily. On January 1, 1999, it was renamed Science Times, and on January 1, 2012, it was renamed back to China Science Daily. China Science Daily is under the supervision of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and jointly sponsored by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the China Association for Science and Technology. It is published five times a week, printed in color, and distributed publicly nationwide.

ScienceNet (www.sciencenet.cn) was launched on January 18, 2007, with the mission to "build a global Chinese scientific community". It enjoys a relatively high reputation in the scientific and educational circles. Currently, ScienceNet ranks around 4,000th among global websites and within the top 500 among Chinese websites, firmly securing its position as the top Chinese science and technology website globally.

As a professional institution engaged in news propaganda and science communication, the newspaper has actively developed mobile new media in recent years, continuously enhancing its audio and video communication capabilities. Through the strong correlation positioning of content across newspapers, magazines, websites, and social media accounts, the newspaper has continuously strengthened the dissemination and influence of its media products.

Leveraging the advantages of being backed by the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the National Natural Science Foundation of China, and the China Association for Science and Technology, as well as other sponsoring organizations, we closely rely on high-level academicians and experts to actively carry out public communication that popularizes scientific knowledge, promotes scientific spirit, disseminates scientific ideas, and advocates scientific methods.
