In the digital age, enhanced publishing has become an increasingly important innovation in academic communication. This study investigates the enhanced publishing strategies adopted by three major chemistry publishing platforms: The American Chemical Society (ACS), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), and Wiley. Through case analysis, this paper highlights how these platforms utilize technologies such as three-dimensional (3D) molecular visualization, semantic enrichment, interactive databases, and multimedia embedding to support open science and improve research dissemination. The findings provide valuable references for enhancing the publishing capabilities of Chinese academic journals in the field of chemistry.
