Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper analyzes the status quo and the problems of journals of humanities and social sciences founded during 2017—2021 in China, which provides a reference for their development. [Methods] A total of 111 academic journals of humanities and social sciences founded or renamed during this period were selected, and the data such as basic information, number of publications, use of new media, and prevalence of open access were collected from official websites of journals, CNKI, and WeChat official accounts. On this basis, the status quo and problems were summarized and suggestions were put forward. [Findings] These journals are mainly created by universities, research institutes, and publishing enterprises. Most of them are quarterlies, and they generally attach great importance to the use of new media. The majority originated from the collected papers found many years ago. However, they face such challenges as uneven distribution of regions and disciplines, long publication cycle, limited number of publications, and little support from the government. [Conclusions] In addition to optimizing the structure and layout of the new journals of humanities and social sciences, the government should start the funding plan of new journals, and the journals themselves should work harder to attract quality papers and adjust the publication cycle.

摘要：

【目的】分析2017—2021年我国人文社会科学新刊的现状及问题,为我国人文社会科学新刊发展提供参考。【方法】遴选出我国在2017—2021年新创办或者更名的人文社会科学学术期刊111种。通过期刊网站、中国知网、期刊微信公众号等采集新刊基本信息、发文量、新媒体使用和开放获取情况等数据,对新刊进行统计,分析总结其发展现状与存在问题,在此基础上提出新刊发展建议。【结果】高校、科研院所和出版企业是创办新刊的主力军。新刊以季刊为主,也普遍重视新媒体传播,很多新刊来源于创办多年的集刊。人文社会科学新刊存在地区分布和学科分布不均衡、出版周期长、发文量少、国家扶持力度小等问题。【结论】对我国人文社会科学新刊,在优化新刊结构和布局的前提下,国家应该启动新刊资助计划。新刊自身也应该通过多种途径吸引优质稿件,适时调整出版周期。
