Previously, in the summer of 2022, GPPG was indexed by the internationally renowned database SCOPUS. In the same year, it was included in the AMI comprehensive evaluation journal database for Chinese humanities and social sciences, and in 2023, it was indexed in the ESCI citation index system under the Web of Science.

In addition to the JCR impact factor, GPPG received a CiteScore of 2.6, ranking in the top 26% of 706 Political Science and International Relations journals, maintaining a Q2 quartile position, and ranking in the top 49% of 232 Public Administration journals, in the Q3 quartile. In the SJR ranking, which considers both citation quantity and quality, GPPG also remains in the Q2 quartile for Political Science and International Relations and the Q3 quartile for Public Administration. These indicators reflect the growing recognition of GPPG's quality by the international academic and publishing community and will encourage the journal to make greater contributions to the creation and dissemination of knowledge in the field of global governance in the future.
