Abstract: [Purposes] This paper aims to explore the role of scie.pngic journals in promoting the development of scie.pngic disciplines. [Methods] This paper briefly introduced the development history of Chinese Journal of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (CJTAM): the initial stage (1957-1977), the recovery and developing stage (1977-1990), and the fast-developing stage (1990-present). This paper also summarized the achievements that CJTAM guided the direction of mechanics research and promoted the scie.pngic discipline construction. [Findings] As the oldest mechanical journal in China, CJTAM promotes the establishment and development of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the nationwide mechanics research under the strong support of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and sponsor. [Conclusions] Scie.pngic journals play an important role in promoting the development of disciplines which should take the responsibility of disseminating the latest scie.pngic and technological achievements, promoting the development of disciplines, and discovering and cultivating scie.pngic and technological talents, provide support for innovation-driven development, and make substantial contributions to serving the world's technological powers and constructing a modern economic system.
