英文学术期刊评分标准制定方法的思考

On the Scoring Standard of English Academic Journals

科研经费投入的逐渐增大与科技论文数量的快速增加,推动了我国文化产业的发展。为适应开放的国际形势,我国主办的英文科技期刊数量也在不断增加。为了提高英文期刊的国际影响力,国家主管部门、各行业、学会、协会采取了多种形式鼓励英文科技期刊的发展。但截至目前,我国还没有一套科学系统的英文科技期刊评价标准,仅有的一些评比办法则主要看重英文科技期刊是否被国外检索系统如SCI、EI等数据库收录。由于国外检索系统和数据库以商业运营为目的,很难对期刊的学术与技术水平进行全面、系统、公正、客观的评价。为解决湖北省英文科技期刊的学术与技术水平的评价问题,我们对期刊功能、特征以及统计方法进行了研究。结果表明:英文学术期刊总体水平可以用期刊的科学技术水平、科学技术的扩散度、学术思想与科学技术的认同度来评价。由此选择能反映期刊总体水平的本源特征值作为考察对象,采用国内外大型数据库数据为统计数据,以数理统计方法为基础,对本源特征数据逐一计算并归一化处理后进行平均,得出各期刊综合本源特征值的大小。如果将综合本源特征值从大到小排序,则该序列可作为参评期刊总体水平优劣的排序。

The increase of research funds and the rapid increase in the number of scientific papers have promoted the development of China's cultural industry. In order to adapt to the open international situation,the number of Chinese English scientific journals sponsored by China is also on the rise. In order to improve the international influence of Chinese English scientific journals,national authorities,various industries,societies and associations have taken many measures to encourage the development of English scientific journals in China. However,up to now,there is no scientific and systematic evaluation criteria for English scientific and technical journals in China. The currently used evaluation methods mainly focus on whether English scientific journals are indexed by foreign retrieval system,such as SCI,EI and other databases. Aiming at commercial operation,it is difficult for foreign retrieval systems to impartially and objectively evaluate the academic level of academic journals. In order to solve the problem in the evaluation of English academic journals in Hubei Province,the authors of this paper study the functions,characteristics and statistical methods of the journals,and find that: the overall level of English academic journals can be evaluated by the scientific and technological level,the diffusion of science and technology,the recognition degree of academic thought,science and technology. The eigenvalues which can reflect the overall level of journals are chosen as the object of study,the data of domestic and foreign large databases are used as the statistical data,the source characteristic data are calculated one by one and normalized and averaged to obtain the total source eigenvalue of each periodical. The ranking of the source eigenvalues can be used as the ranking of the overall level of the journals.
