摘要：

目的 系统考察科技期刊编辑在专题出版全流程中的多重角色，提出“学术共同体枢纽”定位，为编辑职业价值研究提供新视角。 方法 以《资源科学》专题出版为典型案例，运用文献分析与案例研究方法，对科技期刊编辑在专题出版过程中的角色定位进行系统梳理。 结果 科技期刊编辑在专题出版中扮演着四重核心角色：选题策划阶段为主动的“学术地图绘制者”；组织约稿阶段为积极的“学术网络构建者”；质量控制阶段为公正的“学术标准守门人”；出版传播阶段为创新的“学术价值推广人”。这四重角色在专题出版全流程中相互支撑，共同构成“学术共同体枢纽”，实现连接、整合、转化功能。 结论 将科技期刊编辑定位为“学术共同体枢纽”，有助于重新认识编辑的职业价值，并为理解编辑在培育世界一流科技期刊中的作用提供参考。

Abstract:

Purposes This study systematically examines the multiple roles of scientific journal editors throughout the entire process of special issue publishing， and proposes their positioning as an “academic community nexus”， thereby providing a new perspective for research on the professional value of editors. Methods Taking the special issue publishing of Resources Science as a typical case， this study employed literature analysis and case study methods to systematically summarize the role positioning of scientific journal editors during the special issue publishing process. Findings Scientific journal editors play fourfold core roles in special issue publishing： as proactive “academic map makers” in the topic selection and planning stage； as active “academic network builders” in the manuscript solicitation stage； as impartial “academic standard gatekeepers” in the quality control stage； and as innovative “academic value promoters” in the publication and dissemination stage. These four roles mutually reinforce one another throughout the entire process of special issue publishing， jointly constituting an “academic community nexus” and enabling the functions of connection， integration， and transformation. Conclusions Positioning scientific journal editors as an “academic community nexus” contributes to a renewed understanding of their professional value and provides insights into the role of editors in cultivating world-class scientific journals.
