Abstract: On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of University Chemistry, looking back on my connection with the journal as a reader, author, and editor-in-chief, I am truly honored. This paper focuses on sharing the process of the preparation and publication of the manuscripts with University Chemistry, and aims to enable the readers to get a deeper understanding on the context in writing teaching-oriented articles, and to enhance their comprehension of related topics. The author hope that this sharing may serve as a catalyst for further discussion, and wish our colleagues would pay closer attention to scientific issues, engage in educational research, summarize the findings, and contribute submissions to University Chemistry, and let us work together to promote the development of the journal.

Key words: University Chemistry, 40th Anniversary, Educational research
