SSCI收录我国社科期刊影响力的国际对比研究

International comparison of the influence of China's social science journals indexed by SSCI

【目的】探讨SSCI收录我国社科期刊的国际地位,以期为进一步提升期刊国际影响力提供参考。【方法】收集6个主要发达国家(美国、日本、德国、英国、法国和韩国)与5个金砖国家(中国、南非、印度、巴西和俄罗斯)SSCI收录期刊的数量、影响因子、5年影响因子、即年指标、被引半衰期、期刊引证指数(JCI),对SSCI收录我国与其他国家社科期刊上述指标进行对比分析。【结果】SSCI收录我国社科期刊的影响因子、5年影响因子在11个国家中均位居第3,即年指标位居第4;我国SSCI收录社科期刊的JCI在11个国家中居首位,为1.04。SSCI收录我国社科期刊的整体影响力和学术质量不同凡响。但我国SSCI收录社科期刊被引半衰期(5.2)在11个国家中最短,提示我国SSCI收录社科期刊今后需要发表具有深远价值的论文,提升期刊论文的受关注度和被引频次。【结论】我国被SSCI收录的社科期刊应及时采取一定的措施,有效提升期刊的近期和远期学术影响力。

[Purposes]This study aims to learn about the international influence of China's social science journals indexed by SSCI and develop the measures to enhance the journal influence.[Methods]We collected the information about the number,impact factor,5-year impact factor,immediacy index,cited half-life,and journal citation index(JCI)of journals indexed by SSCI in six major developed countries(the United States,Japan,Germany,the United Kingdom,France,and the Republic of Korea)and five BRICS countries(China,South Africa,India,Brazil,and Russia).Furthermore,the above indicators of journals indexed by SSCI were compared between China and other countries.[Findings]China's social science journals indexed by SSCI rank third in 11 countries in terms of the impact factor and 5-year impact factor,fourth in terms of the immediacy index,and first in terms of JCI(1.04),which indicate the high overall influence and academic quality of the social science journals in China.However,the cited half-life of SSCI journals in China(5.2)is the shortest among the 11 countries,indicating that China's social science journals indexed by SSCI need to publish papers of far-reaching values in the future to enhance the notability and total cites of journals.[Conclusions]China's social science journals indexed by SSCI should take timely measures to enhance their short-term and long-term academic influences.
