The country\u2019s total expenditure for research and development in 2019 was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.impact.science\/whitepaper\/navigating-china-academic-research-landscape.html\" aria-label=\"USD 322 billion\">USD 322 billion<\/a>. According to the 2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.natureindex.com\/annual-tables\/2022\" aria-label=\"Nature Index Annual Tables\">Nature Index Annual Tables<\/a>, China was second in research output only to the US. For this reason, academic publishers and societies have begun to expand their presence in China and are trying to engage with Chinese researchers more actively. This requires the use of China-specific social media platforms, among which WeChat easily stands out due to its popularity and \u201call-in-one\u201d approach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is WeChat?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a>WeChat <\/a>is one of the most popular social media platforms in China. It was launched in 2011 by the Chinese company Tencent as a free instant communication mobile application. It now has expanded beyond instant messaging to include, among others, a social feed (called \u201cMoments\u201d), a news feed, a short video platform, a payment gateway, and even a workplace communication and collaboration tool called \u201cEnterprise WeChat.\u201d Businesses can set up official accounts to connect with clients and post promotional content. Users can add and follow these official accounts through a special \u201cshake\u201d feature, by searching for a number, by checking the &#8220;nearby people&#8221; option, or by scanning a QR code. The Moments function also allows users to easily share content with friends in the form of text, videos or images. As of May 2022, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/255778\/number-of-active-wechat-messenger-accounts\/\" aria-label=\"WeChat had over 1.2 billion active users per month\">WeChat had over 1.2 billion active users per month<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Publishers Using WeChat<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>A number of leading international publishers have set up official WeChat accounts to engage with Chinese researchers through content. Let\u2019s look at a few examples: <strong><br><\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nature<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gsdata.cn\/rank\/wxrank\" aria-label=\"2018 Annual Report of the top 1000 WeChat public accounts in China\">2018 Annual Report of the top 1000 WeChat public accounts in China<\/a>, the Nature account published 1216 WeChat articles in 2018 and got 5,760,000 reads, making it the most successful WeChat account owned by an international publisher in China. The Nature account provides multi-media content, including videos, text, and images. Of the total published articles, 75% were original ones. In 2018, the most popular article got 70,000 reads and 309 likes. Nature\u2019s WeChat account (Figure 1) also provides services for researchers (e.g., researcher support, institutional collaboration, career support, and online courses), articles about research (e.g., a guide to open research, updates abouts the research community, announcements about outstanding papers by Chinese authors, and book publication announcements), and general services (e.g., journal subscription, email subscription, and About Us, Join Us, and Contact Us sections).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cactusglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7646\"\/><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><a><em>Figure 1: Nature\u2019s official WeChat account<br>Source: WeChat<\/em><\/a><br><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Taylor &amp; Francis<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Like the Nature account, the Taylor &amp; Francis WeChat account (Figure 2) provides multi-media content (videos, text, and images). Taylor &amp; Francis has taken continual steps to improve the performance of its WeChat account, and published 192 articles between January and July 2022. Through the account, users can check the status of their manuscripts and access academic resources (e.g., recommended books and journals, open access, research news and the publisher\u2019s official Chinese website).
