The Palaeontologia Sinica founded in China in 1922, was one of the most important Chinese academic journals with international influence in the first half of the 20th century. It originated from Ding Wenjiang’s (V. K. Ting, 1887–1936) emphasis on paleontological research in China. The success of its publication was also due to the strong support of Swedish geologist Johan G. Andersson (1874–1960) and the academic guidance of American paleontologist Amadeus W. Grabau (1870–1946). Mainly based on fossil collections in most parts of China at the time, 126 monographs of the journal were contributed by 50 authors from different countries, and various fossils lying dormant in the land of China were brought to light.
