基于作者视角的生态学核心期刊评价及其对期刊工作的启示

Evaluation of core ecology journals from the author’s perspective and its enlightenment to journal operation

【目的】了解作者对生态学核心期刊的评价和投稿意愿,以便更加高效、精准地开展期刊工作。【方法】根据中国知网和《中国科技期刊引证报告》,遴选出9种生态学核心期刊为研究对象,获取样本期刊近5年(2014—2018年)的载文信息,提取发文量排名前20的作者为主要作者群,以主要作者群和期刊编委为调查对象。通过问卷星平台,设计调查问卷,利用邮件、微信等通讯工具发放和回收问卷。【结果】我国生态学核心期刊在学术交流和人才培养方面发挥了积极作用,但在引导学科发展及先进技术方法传播方面还有很大不足。人才评价体系、期刊学术影响力、审稿速度以及期刊定位等是影响作者投稿意愿的重要因素。【结论】科技期刊未来应注重绩效考评体系改革、提高期刊学术影响力、提升审稿速度和加强期刊选题策划等工作。
