History

While at National Southwestern Associated University, Wu Youxun served as the editor-in-chief of Science Record, which was dedicated to the scientific achievements of Chinese academics under extremely difficult conditions during the Second Sino-Japanese War, and was the only medium of communication between China and the international academic community at that time.^[8]

After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, Science Record continued to be published by the Chinese Academy of Sciences.^[9] On 31 October 1952, it was merged into the foreign language edition of Acta Scientia Sinica^[10] and resumed publication.^[11]

In 1960, Science Record finally discontinued publication.
