Abstract:

［Purposes］ This study aims to analyze the characteristics of world-class scientific journals, enhance a comprehensive understanding of them, and explore practical and feasible paths for helping Chinese scientific journals to ascend to the first echelon in the world in terms of comprehensive strength. ［Methods］ Based on the data of 145 world-class scientific journals selected by the peer review of the Nature Index, we conducted a scientometric analysis on these journals from multiple dimensions such as academic influence and social influence, and a comparative study with 22 leading scientific journals included in the “Excellence Action Plan for China's STM Journals” in 2019. ［Findings］ World-class scientific journals usually have a long history, strong paper-carrying capacity, high-quality manuscript sources, and a high level of internationalization, as well as strong capabilities in clustering, industrialization, and digitalization. In contrast, leading scientific journals in China are relatively weaker in these aspects. ［Conclusions］ In the pursuit of becoming first-class, Chinese scientific journals should maintain the patience of making steady progress and accumulating strength, accumulate the depth and breadth of the journal, optimize the manuscript review, editing, and proofreading processes, improve the quality of manuscript sources, strengthen international cooperation, and enhance the level of internationalization. From the perspective of the management departments, they should establish a high-quality scientific journal evaluation system with Chinese characteristics, gather advantageous resources, promote the cluster development of journals, build a national platform for publishing, dissemination, and service, and promote the transformation and upgrading of the journal industry.

摘要：

【目的】分析世界一流科技期刊特征，加强对世界一流科技期刊的全面认识，为助力我国科技期刊综合实力跃居世界第一方阵探索切实可行的路径。【方法】基于Nature Index同行评议遴选出的145种世界一流科技期刊数据，从学术影响力和社会影响力等维度进行科学计量学分析，并与2019年入选“中国科技期刊卓越行动计划”的22种领军期刊作比较研究。【结果】世界一流科技期刊往往历史悠久，论文承载能力强，稿源质量和国际化水平高，集群化、产业化和数字化能力强，我国领军期刊在这些方面则相对较弱。【结论】在追求一流的过程中，我国科技期刊应秉持厚积薄发的耐心，积累期刊的深度与厚度，优化审稿编校流程，提升稿源质量，加强国际合作，提高国际化水平；从管理部门的角度，应该建立具有中国特色的高质量科技期刊评价体系，聚集优势资源，推动期刊集群化发展，建设国家级出版传播与服务平台，促进期刊产业转型升级。
