How to establish a first-class international scientific journal in China?

Hundreds of scientific journals are published in China. However, only scores of them are included in Science Citation Index by the Institute for Scientific Information, with impact factors of only 1 or less. Thus, how to establish a first-class international scientific journal in China is an important but difficult topic that deserves extensive exploration. World Journal of Gastroenterology (WJG) sets a good example although it has experienced setbacks on the road towards success. Concepts and pursuits that affirm the overall development direction, innovation and dreams that provide impetus and aspiration for higher objectives, team work and unique pattern that assure excellent quality and service, and culture and environment that also determine the speed and direction of the development, are believed to be the major factors contributing to the success of WJG. It is recommended that the effective resolution to the above issue is to learn from Chinese examples such as WJG rather than from “how foreign journals do”.

Promoting rapid development of Chinese minimally invasive medicine journals

In recent years,the development of Chinese scientific journals does not match the scientific development in China,especially in the field of minimally invasive surgery medicine.Scientific journals of minimally invasive medicine in China face competition not only from other traditional journals at home and abroad,but also from new media.Journals of minimally invasive medicine should be more creative,find innovative business solutions,attract professional manuscripts,and even incentivize people to contribute to projects.By doing so,we can constantly improve journals'influence,transmission,guidance and credibility in step with the pace of rapid advances in technology.

The Science Communication in Context of New Media-- The Case of Science Journalism

This article emphasizes the importance of science communication in context of new media. A brief summary is offered of some particular posture of scientific journalism from within new media. With the above background, four priorities for future science communication in context of new media are introduced： （1） a brief description about the actual status of science communication within the new media and mass communication process in general; （2） a solid theoretical and conceptual frame for scientific journalism within new media context; （3） a description of some possible forms of public for scientific journalism; （4） a brief analysis upon the possible set of negative effects of scientific journalism in new media and globalization context, and a need for a larger perspective in any attempt to understand the phenomenon of science communication within new media and mass communication processes.

A bibliometric study of the Journal of School Health:1965-2014

Background：As an important international journal in the field of school health,the Journal of School Health has drawn wide attention from researchers and readers around the world.Therefore,it is important to conduct a systematic retrospective study of the journal.With the aim of understanding the development of the journal and the evolutionary process of cooperative study of this field comprehensively,we employed bibliometric analysis using the articles published in the Journal of School Health from 1965.Methods：Using bibliometrics,5242 articles published in the journal were extracted and then analyzed using the visualization software CiteSpace Ⅲ.Results：The annual published amount of literature showed a declining tendency;however,the frequency of citation displayed an increase year by year.Among prolific authors,the number of reports published by JH Price,L Kann and RJ McDermott are at the top.Among the high frequency keywords used in the research journal, ＂adolescents＂, ＂children＂ and ＂programs＂ have become popular in the journal＇s vocabulary.CDCP,Univ Texas and Univ Calif are positioned in the forefront of the involved institutions when ranked by degree of contribution.Conclusions：The Journal of School Health provides an important platform for sharing research achievements and promoting cooperation in this field.The amount of articles published in the journal is continually improving;its cooperative research network promoted by famous scholars and institutions is forming.As more researchers and institutions join,the network will grow and relationships will become increasingly close.However,limitations to cooperation at the regional or interagency scope remain.
