[Purposes]Based on the case study of the high-profile new journal eLight included in"Excellence Action Plan for China STM Journals",this study summarizes the transferable experiences for establishing new English scientific journals in China under the new situations,aiming to support the development of world-class scientific journal clusters in China.[Methods]To address the challenges of limited channels and high costs for establishing global visibility for new journals,as well as weak discourse power in Chinese scientific journals and insufficient centripetal force among scientists,we presented the innovative practices of eLight,analyzed the effects of these practices,and extracted transferable experiences.[Findings]Utilizing leading journals and clusters of high-quality academic resources as a driving force can help new journals quickly and efficiently gain international influence.Addressing global scientific publishing issues and the core needs of scientists can aid journals in establishing discourse power.Furthermore,innovatively refining rights,responsibilities,and working mechanisms,exploring mutually beneficial resources for journals and scientists,and implementing multidimensional evaluation systems can enhance engagement with scientists.[Conclusions]China should fully leverage the advantages of leading journals and journal clusters to maximize the impact of elite resources,strengthen the voice and value output of its scientific journals,foster a scientific community,promote the aggregation of publishing resources,and enhance the discourse power of Chinese scientific journals,thereby achieving the efficient development of world-class scientific journal clusters.
