自缚与破茧:40年来高校学报体制的演变——以人文社科学报为中心

Self-binding and Cocoon Breaking:the Evolution of the System of University Journals in the Past 40 Years——Centering on the Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences

中国高校学报有着自己独特的体制设计,这个体制的建构始于1950年代,1970年代末到1980年代末是其最终成型并逐渐固化的重要时期。除了同于一般期刊的准入审批制、主管主办制以外,体制对学报还有一系列独特规约,拜其所赐,综合性、封闭性、“一校一刊”成为高校学报所独有,并在相当长时期内得到了学报界的普遍认同。自甘于“窗口”“园地”而作茧自缚的高校学报与开放的公共平台属性渐行渐远。1990年代末,一个偶然因素造成的学报大扩容使“体制病”彰显无遗。新世纪初,管理部门和学报界都开始了对学报体制的反思。教育部“名刊工程”开启了艰难的“破茧”之旅,但被寄予很大希望的报刊体制改革在高校并未获实质性进展。2014年以来有关媒体融合的顶层设计为学报走出体制之困注入了新的希望,但破体制之茧并不容易,而破心中之茧则更显其难,学报要实现破茧化蝶,涅槃重生,还有很长的路要走。

Starting in the 1950 s,Chinese university journals have their own unique system design,the late 1970 s to the late 1980 s being an important period of its final formation and gradual solidification.In addition to the same system of examination and approval of general journals and being hosted by supervisors,this system also has a series of unique regulations for university journals.Thanks to them,the university journals are comprehensive and closed,characterized by "one university,one journal",widely recognized by the academic press for a long time.Bound by themselves and willing to be a "window" or a "garden",the university journals are gradually drifting away from the open public platform.The great expansion of the journals caused by an accidental factor in the late 1990 s has made the "system disease" obvious.At the beginning of the new century,the management department and the academic press have begun to reflect on the university journal system.The Famous Journal Project of the Ministry of Education has begun a difficult journey of "breaking the cocoon",but the reform of the newspaper system,which has been placed with great hope,has not made substantial progress in colleges and universities.Since 2014,the top-level design of media integration has injected new hope for the university journals to get out of the difficulty of the system,but it is not easy to break the cocoon of the system,and it is even more difficult to break the cocoon of the heart.So,there is still a long way to go before the university journals can realize their transformation from cocoon to nirvana.
