Abstract: The influence of Chinese Journal of Ship Research (CJSR) has been constantly increasing ever since it was founded ten years ago, and now the journal ranks as one of the top quality periodicals in the shipbuilding industry. In order to further promote the development of CJSR, the history and practical experi-ence of the journal are first introduced in this paper, followed by a bibliometric analysis of the growth of im-pact factors and cited frequencies of the journal, the domain distribution of papers and features of high-ly-cited papers, and the core authors and the institutional distribution of contributions. The results show that CJSR has dozens of representative core authors with high impact, incorporated with features of military engineering background, overall design and integration, combination of theory and engineering. It is duly expected the journal should involve more core authors and contribution institutions in the future.
