新文化运动影响下学术期刊的版式变革与选择

Changes and Choices in the Format of Academic Journals Under the Influence of the New Cultural Movement

新文化运动兴起,西学东渐之势日益显著,横排抑或直排成为汉语出版版式选择绕不开的话题。二十世纪二三十年代,相较于报纸、图书,学术期刊横排比例相对较高。其中,从学科来看,自然科学类学术期刊横排比例较高,社会科学类学术期刊横排比例较低;而大学、学/协会以及其他学术机构等不同单位主办的学术期刊选择横排或竖排版式各有不同。学术期刊版式选择既反映了在新文化运动影响下学术期刊出版单位对中西方文化的传播与交流的不同态度,也是为了更好地表达公式、算式、图表、西文字母等内容信息,促进学术传播与交流,融入国际学术界。实践证明,版式变革既有利于中外文化交流融合,也有利于科学思维的培养与普及。

With the rise of the New Culture Movement and the increasing trend of Western learning spreading to the East,the choice between horizontal or vertical layout in Chinese publishing has become a topic of contention.During the 1920s and 1930s,academic journals had a relatively higher proportion of horizontal layout compared to newspapers and books.From a disciplinary perspective,natural science academic journals exhibit a higher proportion of horizontal layout,whereas social science academic journals show a lower proportion.Academic journals operated by universities,societies/associations,and other academic institutions varied in their choices between horizontal and vertical layout.From the perspective of the organizers,the horizontal and vertical proportions of academic journals sponsored by universities,colleges/associations,and other academic institutions vary.These differences are closely related not only to the varying attitudes of academic journal publishers towards the dissemination and exchange of Chinese and Western cultures under the influence of the New Culture Movement,but also to the pragmatic considerations of better expressing content such as formulas,calculations,charts,and Western letters,thereby promoting academic dissemination and exchange and facilitating integration into the international academic community.As practice has shown,this format change is conducive to the exchange and integration of Chinese and foreign cultures,as well as the cultivation and popularization of scientific thinking.
