Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper aims to explore the method of establishing a scientific and rigorous editorial board selection mode for English academic journals, especially for animal journals. [Methods] Taking Asian Herpetological Research (AHR) as an example, based on Web of Science database, we analyzed the characteristics of authors, organizations, and sources in the relative research field using VOSviewer visual bibliometric software. [Findings] According to the current situation of AHR, we propose an innovative selection system for editorial board members, which will allow us to search editorial board candidates all over the world. [Conclusions] Compared to the traditional recommendation system, this innovative selection system based on the big data can effectively break the solidified editorial board recommendation method, activate the editorial board-centered work, enhance the attractiveness of journals to excellent manuscript sources, and consequently improve the international influence of English academic journals.
