Recently, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and the China Center for Scientific Bibliometric Evaluation jointly released the "Annual Report on Impact Factors of Chinese Academic Journals" (Natural Science and Engineering Technology, 2023 edition). The Chinese core journal "Fire Resistant Materials", sponsored by Luoyang Refractory Materials Research Institute Co., Ltd. of China Steel Group, was once again selected as a statistical source journal. The composite impact factor was 1.870, an increase of 65.5% from 1.130 last year, and the impact reached a new high. Ranked 16th among 91 journals in the field of metallurgical engineering technology, with a Impact Index (CI) of 336.454, continuing to rank in Q1 region; Ranked 22nd among 182 journals in the field of chemical engineering, with a Impact Index (CI) of 385.901, it continues to rank in the Q1 region. Both the influencing factors and relative rankings have made progress.

The magazine "Refractory Materials" was founded in 1966 and is a Chinese core journal that reports on the research, production, and application of refractory materials in China. Currently, it is included in internationally renowned databases such as Chemical Abstracts (CA), Cambridge Scientific Abstracts (CAS), EBSCO in the United States, SCOPUS in Elsevier in the Netherlands, Abstracts Journal (Chemistry Volume) in Russia, and JST China in Japan; It is included in the "China Academic Journal Network Publishing Database" (CNKI), "China Core Journal (Selection) Database" (Wanfang Data), "Chinese Science and Technology Journal Database" (VIP Network), and Chaoxing Full text, and is also a statistical source journal for the "China Academic Journal Impact Factor Annual Report". Since 1992, it has been included in the "Overview of Chinese Core Journals" for 9 consecutive times.

The magazine "Refractory Materials" is an important window for China Steel Luonai Technology Co., Ltd. to serve the industry and enhance its leading position. The continuous improvement of the magazine's impact factor is a recognition of the industry influence of China Steel Luonai Technology Co., Ltd. and China Steel Group Luoyang Refractory Research Institute Co., Ltd. It is also a powerful witness to the importance of China's refractory materials industry as a high-temperature industrial basic material. Sincere thanks to the industry experts and scholars who have shown concern, support, and assistance for the development of China Steel Luonai Technology Co., Ltd. and China Steel Group Luoyang Refractory Research Institute Co., Ltd. in the journal "Refractory Materials". At the same time, we hope that industry elites, experts, and leaders will continue to care about and support the influence building of the "Refractory Materials" magazine, and build it into a brand journal in China's natural science and engineering technology, helping to promote the high-quality development of China's refractory materials industry.
