Abstract:

[Purposes] Based on the experience of the cooperatively running mode of Light: Science & Applications and the independent starting mode of Light: Advanced Manufacturing, this paper provides references for the transformation of international journals in China from "borrowing ships to sea" to "shipbuilding to seas", and helps domestic journals to realize independent and sustainable development. [Methods] Combining the two journals' founding experience, we summed up the experience so as to compare and analyze the advantages and disadvantages of cooperatively running journals and independently starting journals from the aspects of improving academic influence, serving country's scientific and technological progress, and journal operation experience. On this basis, we proposed some thoughts on the transformation of scientific journals from "Chinese products" to "Chinese brands" in China. [Findings] At present, the mode of cooperating with international publishers to run journals is mature, and have achieved remarkable results in the international arena; the road to self-publishing is long and difficult, and is still in the stage of exploration and strengthening construction, but initial results have been achieved. [Conclusions] Building high-quality English journals and academic publishing platforms with independent intellectual property rights is crucial for the sustainable development of scientific journals in China. It is also the path that Chinese scientific journals must take to strive for self-improvement. The journal industry needs to persevere and strive forward.
