Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper aims to investigate the use of terms and find out the problems of non-standard use of terms, so as to provide basis for improving the standardization level of terms and promoting the high-quality development of Chinese scientific journals.[Methods] A retrospective investigation was conducted to investigate the errors in the use of terms in articles published in 18 scientific journals in 2020.[Findings] The errors related to terminology mainly involve the standardization of terminology use, the standardization of terminology editing and correction, and the standardization of proper terms. The specific types of errors are diversified, which is not conducive to the improvement of journal quality and influence, and should be paid great attention by authors and journal workers. In terms related errors, the use of terms is the most prominent problem. Among the various types of standardization of the use of terms, the most prominent problem is caused by the similarity of form, sound, and meaning of the terms. [Conclusions] The standardization level of terminology in Chinese scientific journals needs to be improved, which should be paid more attention to.
