从《石油地球物理勘探》质量自检看科技期刊的评价标准

Scientific journal quality evaluation criteria from the point of view of OGP quality self-checking.

目前中国科技期刊总数已达5100余种。面对如此大量的科技期刊,如何进行科学的、客观的评价一直困扰各级期刊管理部门和各家期刊编辑部。从1992年起,期刊主管部门发布了《科技期刊质量要求》及评估标准,随后各部门和各行业按各自需要,先后建立了多种版本的科技期刊索引数据库。目前对中国科技界最有影响的著名索引数据库有:美国的《科学引文索引(SCI)》及《工程引文索引(EI)》;国内的《中文核心期刊要目总览》、《中国科技论文与引文分析数据库》及《中国科学引文数据库》。这类引文数据库可为评估中国科技期刊的学术水平、技术质量提供一套比较完整、客观的数据,也是分析各期刊自身影响力升降的依据。此外,要十分注意编辑标准的执行。编辑标准直接关系到期刊的编辑质量,编辑质量对期刊的学术水平、技术质量来说也是相辅相成的关系,而编辑部质量自检是保证期刊质量不断提高的重要措施。本文还就完善期刊质量的评估体系提出了一些建议。

Those databases provide a complete and objective data for evaluation of academic level and technical quality of Chinese scientific journals, they are the bases to analyze journal's influence in their own fields. In addition editing standards should be paid enough attention as they are directly related to journal's editing quality. Journal's editing quality, and academic level and technical quality of the journals complement each other, so the quality self-checking in editorial departments is an important measure to assure the continuous improvement of the journals. In this paper some measures on how to improve the evaluation of the journal quality were suggested as well.
