Abstract

Abstract:

[Purposes] This study explores the functional repositioning of scientific journals in the context of rapid advancements in emerging technologies. The aim is to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the future development of Chinese scientific journals. [Methods] Adopting a science of science perspective that emphasizes the unity of “science and society,” and utilizing the method of scientific knowledge mapping, this study examines how shifts in research paradigms and evolving needs of the scientific community influence the functional positioning of journals. The social functions of contemporary scientific journals are systematically repositioned across three dimensions: the core logic of journal development, its deepening, and its expansion. [Findings] Maintaining scientific authority and credibility is the foundational function of scientific journals. Deepening the linkage of knowledge development is a further deepening of the function of scientific and technical journals. Expanding into diverse academic ecosystems represents an innovative extension. [Conclusions] From a science of science perspective, scientific journals are not only mediums for academic dissemination, but also an important platform for academic community interaction, integration of innovation chains, and the shaping of research culture. The function and influence of scientific and technological journals are closely connected with scientific practice, and they cannot exist independently from scientific activities, nor can they produce function and influence independently of scientific activities.

Key words: Scientific journals, Social functions, Science of science

摘要：

【目的】深入探讨科技期刊在新兴技术迅速发展背景下所面临的功能再定位问题,旨在为我国科技期刊的未来发展提供理论支撑和实践指导。【方法】从“科学与社会相统一”的科学学视角,结合科学知识图谱,探讨科研活动本身的科研范式变革和科研活动主体科学家群体需求变化对期刊功能定位的影响,进而从期刊发展逻辑的核心、深化和扩展3个维度对当代科技期刊进行系统性社会功能再定位。【结果】维护科学权威性和公信力是科技期刊功能的基础,链接知识向纵深发展是科技期刊功能的进一步深化,扩展学术生态多元延伸是科技期刊功能的创新拓展。【结论】在科学学视角下,科技期刊不仅是学术传播的媒介,更是学术共同体交流、创新链条融合和科研文化塑造的重要平台。科技期刊的功能和影响力是与科学实践紧密相连的,不能脱离科学活动而独立存在,也不能独立于科学活动之外产生功能和影响。
