This study explores the geographical distribution of publishing institutions and the trends in scientific research projects within the field of editing and publishing, with a particular focus on the development of sci-tech periodicals. The research reveals the concentration of publishing institutions in Beijing, attributed to its status as a political and cultural hub boasting numerous high-level academic institutions and abundant resources. Similarly, the impact of scientific research institutions in Henan Province is closely associated with the activities of the Henan Scientific Periodical Research Center, encouraging interdisciplinary synergy. An analysis of article publication trends demonstrates fluctuating patterns from 2002 to 2014, followed by substantial growth from 2016 to 2018, influenced by factors such as "digitalization", "core journals", "new media", "big data", and "media convergence". However, a decline post-2019 suggests an impending stable phase or emerging trends necessitating sustained attention. Furthermore, emergent keywords like "new media", "media convergence", and "knowledge service" underscore primary developmental trends in sci-tech periodical research, emphasizing the integration with other disciplines and the stimulation of new research areas. The study also highlights the imperative to bolster the organization and declaration of scientific research projects in editing and publishing. Despite the pivotal role of scientific research projects in discipline development, our analysis reveals a lack of attention to these projects in editing and publishing science. Therefore, it is recommended to encourage heightened scientific research efforts and to organize research personnel to engage in areas with strong scientific research strength, thereby enhancing project declaration levels and scientific research abilities, ultimately contributing to the development and prosperity of editing and publishing. This research offers valuable insights into the dynamics and trends within the publishing and scientific research landscape, emphasizing the proactive measures necessary to adapt to these changes and advance the field of sci-tech periodicals.
