Abstract:

[Purposes] Taking the journals of infectious diseases as examples, this study aims to understand the development and changes of scientific journals, so as to better understand the development of the corresponding subjects and effectively promote the interaction and co-construction of journals and subjects. [Methods] The number, academic influence, cited half-life, publishing country, and other changes of infectious disease journals indexed by SCIE from 2004 to 2018 were analyzed, and the effect of journal changes on the development of the corresponding discipline was also analyzed. [Findings] In the past 15 years, infectious disease journals have been expanding and shown good development trend. The infectious disease journals expand the scope of discipline communication, and the emerging journals with high impact can lead the discipline development. [Conclusions] From four dimensionalities of scientific journals including quantity, category, citation frequency, and withdrawal, we can understand the communication demand and development direction of the corresponding discipline.

摘要：

【目的】以传染病学期刊为例,了解科技期刊的发展变迁,从而更好地认识该学科的发展,有效推进期刊与学科的互动和共建。【方法】汇总分析2004—2018年SCIE收录的传染病学期刊的数量、学术影响力、被引半衰期、出版国等变化情况,并分析期刊变化对相应学科发展的作用。【结果】15年间,传染病学期刊类别日渐丰富,发展态势良好,学科交流范围扩大,尤其是新兴高影响力期刊引领学科发展。【结论】从科技期刊数量、类别、被引频次和退出收录情况4个维度进行分析,可了解期刊所在学科的交流需求和发展方向。
