Abstract:

[Purposes]This paper aims to summarize the strategy of guest editors' targeted manuscript solicitation so that journals can attract high-quality papers and improve academic impact by virtue of the academic influence of experts. [Methods] Taking Journal of Chongqing Medical University as an example, we introduced the strategy of guest editors' targeted manuscript solicitation in detail. The outcome of guest editors' targeted manuscript solicitation in 2015-2019 was analyzed by rank sum test and chi-square test for trend with author contributions as control. [Findings] From 2015 to 2019, Journal of Chongqing Medical University has invited 18 renowned experts as guest editors for soliciting contributions for 10 special issues and 3 special columns. The number, total downloads, and the total cites of papers solicited by guest editors from 2015 to 2019 showed an upward trend, while those of the natural contributions demonstrated a downward trend. The five-year total downloads of the former were more than those of the latter and the cited frequencies in 2017 and 2018 showed the same trend. [Conclusions]Guest editors' targeted manuscript solicitation can help journals attract high-quality papers via experts' academic influence, thereby improving the academic impact of them. Thus, it is the driving force to build first-class brands for comprehensive medical journals.
