从核心期刊评价指标分析如何提升期刊影响力——以《水文地质工程地质》为例

An analysis on the evaluation indexes of core journal and its improving effect on journal influence:a case study of Hydrogeology & Engineering Geology

期刊评价形式很多,包括"核心期刊"评选、影响力排名等。正确把握各期刊评价体系的初衷和发展,了解其功能、指标及其测算方法的特定内涵,对于优化办刊理念、提高期刊质量具有重要意义。文章简要介绍了中文核心期刊和中国科技核心期刊评价体系及最新版评价采用的指标,分析了《水文地质工程地质》在前者中排位比较靠后、在后者中"红点指标"偏低的现状及其原因,认为决定期刊影响力的主要因子除了文章质量,还有文章体例的规范性及与被引量相关的各项指标。继而统计分析《水文地质工程地质》1年和10年刊文数据,获得该刊学科分布、文章影响力、摘要、关键词等方面的特点,认为存在学科比较分散、高影响力论文不多、摘要信息量不足和关键词不规范等问题。据此,提出了提升期刊影响力的措施:(1)办刊要坚持一定的学科方向和特色,合理控制学科分;(2)要规范要求文章体例,提高文章质量,吸纳高影响力论文,吸引高质量稿源;(3)加强摘要特别是英文摘要,扩充信息量,以促进文章的传播及期刊的国际化;(4)规范摘录关键词,提高文章被检索引用概率。并建议编辑要系统研究同一学科内期刊的特点,及时发现学科热点,更好地提升期刊的专业影响力。

There are many evaluation activities based on Bradford’s Law of Document Dentrailzation for journals,including the selection of'core journals',ranking of influence,etc.Correctly grasping the origin and development of each journal evaluation system and understanding its function,indexes and their calculation method are still of great practical significance for optimizing the idea,adjusting the direction of running periodicals and improving the quality of periodicals.The paper introduces the evaluation systems of Chinese Core Journals and Chinese Science and Technology Core Journals and their indexes of 2017 edition.On the basis of analyzing the ranking and scoring of Hydrogeology&Engineering Geology in these two systems,it is believed that the main factors determining the influence of periodicals are not only the quality of articles,but also the normative style of articles and the indexes related to the quoted amount.Statistical analysis of the data of the 1 a and 10 a publications of the journal of Hydrogeology&Engineering Geology showing that there are some problems including the scattered subjects,lack of high-impact articles,abstract of insufficient information and non-standard key words.In allusion to these problems above,the measures to improve the influence of the journals are proposed:(1)The publication must adhere to a certain discipline direction and characteristics,and reasonably control the subject distribution;(2)standardizing the style of the article,improving the quality of the article,absorbing high-impact papers,and attracting high-quality manuscripts from different fields of science;(3)strengthening the quality of the abstracts,especially in part of the english abstract,expanding the information content,and promoting the dissemination the internationalization of journals;(4)standardizing the keywords to increase the probability of being retrieved.
