Article count (AC), which means regardless of whether this article has one or more authors, the country or institute that each author belongs to will receive one AC score; 2. Fractional count (FC), which determines the relative contribution made by each author of the article. In recent years, Wenzhou University has always adhered to the correct academic guidance and scientific research development direction, implemented subject-driven initiative and scientific research strategy, under which guidance a large number of high-quality science and research findings have been achieved.
