摘要：

【目的】 分析被Scopus收录的国内外人文社科期刊特点,提出对提升我国人文社科期刊国际影响力的建议。【方法】 采用分类统计和对比分析的方法,对Scopus收录期刊的整体情况和包括我国在内的世界重要国家的人文社科期刊进行研究和分析。【结果】 英语、法语和西班牙语期刊在国际传播中占有优势,中文期刊在国际竞争中相对处于劣势,尤其中文人文社科期刊被收录较少;英国和美国所有期刊和人文社科期刊数量在Scopus中占据垄断地位,虽然近年来我国被收录的人文社科期刊不断增多,且增速较快,但目前我国被收录人文社科期刊数量排名第13。在中国、美国、俄罗斯、日本、韩国和印度等国家科技期刊的国际影响力明显高于人文社科期刊,而英国、西班牙、意大利、法国和波兰等国家的人文社科期刊比科技期刊的对外传播力更强。除了西班牙、意大利、法国、巴西和俄罗斯被收录期刊以本国语期刊为主外,其他世界重要国家被收录人文社科期刊都以英文期刊为主。美国在心理学领域被收录的期刊最多,在其他学科领域都是英国被收录的期刊最多。我国被收录人文社科期刊涉及学科领域较广,其中心理学领域表现最佳,在某些二级学科领域我国没有期刊被收录。大多数英国、美国和荷兰期刊通过五大国际期刊出版集团出版,其他国家很少或不通过五大出版集团出版期刊,中国与五大国际期刊出版集团均有较多合作。巴西、西班牙、波兰和我国被收录的人文社科期刊的开放获取比例较大,而英国、美国、荷兰、德国、法国、意大利等国家被收录的人文社科期刊开放获取比例较小。英国、美国、加拿大和中国被收录人文社科期刊CiteScore值比较高,意大利、法国等国家期刊CiteScore值普遍较低;相比纯人文社科期刊,交叉学科期刊的CiteScore值比较高,且被收录的人文社科期刊CiteScore值与该期刊是否开放获取没有强关联关系。【结论】 我国应多创办英语期刊以及新兴学科及空白领域人文社科期刊;整合中文期刊,加强中文人文社科期刊的国际传播意识和能力;建立自主的强大的对外传播平台。我国期刊行政管理部门和期刊主管及主办单位应提供政策和资金支持,适当提升开放获取期刊的比例。

Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper aims to analyze the characteristics of academic journals of social sciences and humanities (SSH) at home and abroad indexed by Scopus, so as to propose suggestions to enhance the international impact of China's SSH journals. [Methods] Using classification statistics and comparative analysis, we analyzed the overall situation of journals included in Scopus and SSH journals from major countries including China. [Findings] English, French, and Spanish journals have advantages in international communication, while Chinese journals are disadvantaged. The SSH journals from the US and UK play a dominant role in Scopus. Despite its rapid increase, the number of Chinese SSH journal ranks 13th in Scopus. The international impact of the SSH journals in the US, Russia, Japan, Republic of Korea, India, and China is weaker than that of scientific journals, while this trend is opposite in Italy and France. Except the SSH journals in Spain, Italy, France, Brazil, and Russia which are indexed by Scopus are generally published in their official language, most SSH journals in other countries are published in English. Journals in Psychology in the US are more than that in the UK, but journals of the latter in all the other subjects and disciplines are the most. Journals of China involve the majority subjects and disciplines, but a few are not involved. Most of the SSH journals in the UK, the US, and the Netherlands are published by five major international journal publishing groups. In other countries, a small amount or no journals are published by the five major publishing groups, and China has intensive cooperation with the five major groups. The SSH journals in Brazil, Spain, Poland, and China account for a large proportion in open access journals, while the proportion is low in countries such as the UK, the US, the Netherlands, Germany, France, and Italy. The CiteScore of SSH journals in the UK, the US, Canada, and China is high, while that in Italy and France is low. Compared with pure SSH journals, interdisciplinary journals have higher CiteScore, and the CiteScore of SSH journals is not strongly associated with the open access status. [Conclusions] China shall create more SSH journals published in English and new disciplines. Efforts should be made to integrate Chinese journals and strengthen the awareness and ability of Chinese SSH journals in international communication. Strong independent communication platforms should be built in China. The administrative management departments, journal supervisors, and sponsors of Chinese journals should provide supportive policies and funds and appropriately increase the proportion of open access journals as well.
