Abstract:

[Purposes] This study aims to explore the role of meteorological academic journals in the exchange of meteorological science and technology between China and foreign countries during the period of the Republic of China (1912-1949), which is expected to provide historical experience for the internationalization of modern scientific journals. [Methods] We established the bibliographic database for The Meteorological Magazine during that period and extracted the exchange indicators. As for the category indicator, we classified the content into four categories. On this basis, we analyzed the content, form, and contribution of characteristic articles on the exchange from the perspectives of the category, author, and source. [Findings] Although The Meteorological Magazine went through a relatively turbulent period, it saw a significant increase in circulation and 40% of the articles on the exchange of meteorological science and technology between China and other countries, which were the manifestations of internationalization. [Conclusions] The Meteorological Magazine has made a great contribution to the dissemination of new inventions and technologies, as well as the development direction and goals in meteorological science in China and abroad. Meteorological journals have played an important part in the exchange and dissemination of meteorological science between China and foreign countries during the Republic of China.
