[Purposes]Commentary reviews in scientific journals integrate research progress,the latest research results,potential problems,and development trend of domestic and overseas academic activities for one subject,thus commentary reviews have valuable bibliographic value and academic status. This paper emphasizes that authors and editors must improve the academic quality of commentary reviews. [Methods]In the aspects of topics and literatures,the academic quality problems of commentary reviews in Chinese journals were summarized. [Findings] The commentary reviews have high academic reference value and contribute to improving the readers＇ writing ability. But the topics and literatures are unsatisfactory. Some topics are obsolete and lack of novelty,some are vacuous,and some topics are similar to previous ones. In terms of classification,organization and comment of the literatures,a mass of literatures are accumulated and have no timeliness and representativeness. [Conclusions] The commentary reviews are more important because of their abundant information and readability. The authors and editors should ensure the quality of review articles,and put an emphasis on topics and literatures.
