Notably, one of the publications within this series is Cross border Finance and the Changes of Overseas Chinese Hometowns: Compilation of Historical Materials on Water Travelers in South China during the Republic of China Period, edited by Zhang Xiaoxin, Vice President of Jinan University. This project aligns with the university press's strategic emphasis on overseas Chinese university + prestigious university and its commitment to enhancing overseas Chinese publishing.

The second project, the Series of Chinese Multiethnic Literature Studies from the Perspective of Diversity and Integration, delves into the rich landscape of multi-ethnic literature in China. This comprehensive series showcases the research contributions of numerous scholars, including those from the Institute of Ethnic Literature of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and Jinan University, among other esteemed research institutions and universities. By exploring minority writer literature, minority folk literature, and other facets of multiethnic literature, this series offers a diverse and insightful perspective on the development of contemporary multi-ethnic literature in China, contributing to the cultural enrichment of the Chinese nation.
