国际学术期刊优先数字出版面临的挑战与应对——以Geoscience Frontiers期刊为例

学术期刊优先数字出版加快了学术论文发表的速度,缩短了其公之于众的周期,提高了学术论文的影响力。学术期刊优先数字出版为学术成果快速和广泛传播带来巨大便利的同时,也面临着一些除了对学术期刊的出版管理和行业规范等以外的一些挑战。以GeoscienceFrontiers期刊为例,探讨了国际学术期刊优先数字出版推行过程之后面临的挑战,例如:优先数字出版过早于正式出版从而引起作者不满;优先数字出版导致学术引用前置;对期刊评价指标影响的不确定性;'勘误启示'逐年增多等。针对上述学术期刊优先出版中出现的现象和面临的挑战,结合实际的工作经验提出几点应对的建议,希望对我国的学术期刊优先数字出版的发展提供可鉴路径。

“卓越行动计划”地学期刊现状分析和发展建议

【目的】分析“中国科技期刊卓越行动计划”(以下简称“卓越行动计划”)资助期内我国地学领域期刊的发展现状,探索其发展建议和对策,以期为我国加快建设国际一流科技期刊提供参考与借鉴。【方法】选取20种入选“卓越行动计划”的地学期刊作为研究对象,通过Web of Science数据库、In Cites平台和期刊官方网站获取期刊基本信息、数据库收录情况、开放获取状态、学科领域分布、编委组成、论文作者的国家/地区分布、引文影响力等数据,进而从学科分布、国际化程度、引文影响力等维度对这些数据进行统计分析。【结果】入选“卓越行动计划”的绝大多数地学期刊的稿源和编委国际化程度相对较低,引文影响力主要集中在中国,尚未达到国际平均水平。针对提升期刊的国际影响力,提出以下发展建议和对策:发挥高校学科优势办刊、建设国际化编委团队、加强国际传播、创新出版模式以及发展学术期刊集群等。【结论】“卓越行动计划”中绝大多数地学期刊的引文影响力主要集中在中国,其对欧美国家的影响力相对较弱,因此需要针对中国地学科研领先和特有的领域进行国际传播和合作,以提升这些期刊的国际影响力。

国际地学英文学术期刊更正声明的调查和思考

调查Web of Science核心合集收录的27种国际地学英文学术期刊2016—2020年刊发的更正声明,分析其多维度信息,即刊名、更正声明的数量、更正声明涉及的文献类型和题名及DOI号、更正的时间及卷期号、更正前原文献发表时间及其被引情况、更正声明的具体内容和被引情况、通信作者国别等。结果显示:国际地学英文学术期刊发布的更正声明规范性强,且数量呈逐年增长趋势;美国和中国作者发表的更正声明最多,但美国有下降趋势,而中国有上升趋势;绝大多数更正声明的责任主体是作者;更正对象涉及作者信息、文中信息、公式、致谢、参考文献、图、表格和附件等。为减轻错误内容的影响,学术期刊应提升更正声明的可发现性、提高更正声明的作者信息透明度、加强更正声明论文的审核;为规避更正反映的期刊质量问题,建议期刊和出版商协同严把论文评审关和编校关,加快更正声明的发表速度,并加强科研自律和科研道德规范,以提升学术期刊的学术质量和影响力。
