对中国科技期刊的若干思考

Reflection on current situations of sci-tech journals in China

作为资深的科技期刊办刊人,作者通过认真思考,总结出目前中国科技期刊需要正视的问题,包括:重英文轻国语严重失衡,重指标轻读者愈演愈烈,重经营轻质量难以为继,重形式轻学术吸引眼球,重普世轻特例步履维艰,重手段轻内涵本末倒置。认为只有重务实戒浮夸,中国的科技期刊才能有光明前途。

Being a highly experienced editor, the author went down to think about and revealed several problems of sci-tech journals in China that should be envisaged currently, including too much emphasis on publications in English than in Chinese which has been already imbalaneed, too much emphasis on some scientific indexes than on readers＇ requirements which had already made things worse, too much emphasis on financial management than on quality of publications which might ruin the journals, too much emphasis on international citations rather than substantial scientific communications which seems appealing, too much emphasis on transform to enterprises all at once neglecting those special cases which would suspend the reform, and also, too much emphasis on external forms than on real contents which was upside down. The sci-tech journals in China will have a bright future only when pragmatic approaches being applied rather than a tendency toward boasting and exaggeration.
