Abstract:

[Purposes] The engagement of scientific journal editors in publishing research is often hindered by a lack of proactive awareness and insufficient actionability. This study aims to investigate the constraining factors and underlying mechanisms of this issue, providing theoretical and practical insights for talent development in the field of scientific journals. [Methods] Guided by the S-O-R model, we adopted a grounded theory approach. We conducted in-depth interviews with 22 editors of scientific journals who had more than five years of editorial experience. Key concepts and categories were identified, and logical relationships were deduced through systematic analysis. [Findings] External stimuli such as career prospects, platform support, and disciplinary background contribute to negative cognition and behaviors among scientific journal editors, thereby influencing their engagement in publishing research. [Conclusions] Based on the findings, this study proposes several recommendations, including improving institutional frameworks, fostering research-friendly environments, and integrating research with editorial responsibilities to mitigate the identified constraints, to promote talent management and personal development in scientific journals.

摘要：

【目的】 针对科技期刊编辑从事出版研究存在主动意识不强、行动力差的问题,探究制约因素及这一问题的生成机理,为科技期刊人才发展提供一定的思路。【方法】 借助S-O-R模型,通过扎根理论的研究方法对22位从事期刊工作5年以上的科技期刊编辑进行访谈,归纳提炼出概念和范畴,推理出对应的逻辑关系。【结果】 发展前景、平台支撑和学科背景作为外界刺激因素,促使科技期刊编辑产生负面的认知和行为,导致出版研究工作受到影响。【结论】 基于研究结果提出注重完善制度保障、注重创造研究条件、注重研究与工作的结合等建议,以促进科技期刊人才管理和个人发展。
