Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper aims to explore the regional coverage of academic journals and the characteristics of publication association between different regions to promote the high-quality construction of academic journals and their positive interaction with academic research. [Methods] The study used Moran's I to analyze the spatial pattern of academic journals in China, the Theil index and measurement methods to analyze the regional differences and disciplinary differences in the number of core papers produced and published in 2021, the social network method to analyze the association characteristics between provinces where core papers were produced and provinces where they were published, and the geographical detector to analyze factors influencing regional associations and the number of manuscripts sourced from different regions. [Findings] The distribution of academic journals in China is unbalanced, with a few provinces hosting the vast majority of academic journals. The overall spatial correlation of academic journal distribution is negative, with Shanxi and Hebei being local lowlands and Guangdong a local highland. There is a multi-centered trend between the output of core papers and the publication, with the latter being more unbalanced. On the whole, Central China and Northeast China have more balanced distributions, and the difference within North China is the greatest. The regional imbalance of journals at the disciplinary level is particularly pronounced in medical journals and industrial journals. The correlation between the output of core papers and publication is concentrated in a few provinces, with clear clustering characteristics in two "two-way spillover plates". The academic output capacity of provinces in the "broker plate" is good, but they still need to strengthen their own journal development. The internal attributes of journals and research investment are the dominant factors affecting the development of regional academic journals. The development of academic journals in provinces with higher academic output is relatively prosperous, but it is easy to appear regional biases. There is a synergistic effect among the impact factors. More researchers in universities, economic support, and cooperative institutions in the region suggest more conducive it is to the formation of a good academic environment, so as to promote academic exchanges and the high-quality construction of academic journals. [Conclusions] The regional imbalance in the development of Chinese academic journals is more severe than that in academic output. Strengthening talent training, increasing scientific research investment, and appropriately increasing publication frequency are conducive to the development of regional academic journals and promoting academic interaction.

摘要：

【目的】 探究学术期刊地区覆盖面以及区域间论文出版关联特征,以促进学术期刊高质量建设及其与学术研究的良性互动。【方法】 采用莫兰指数分析我国学术期刊空间格局,通过泰尔指数和计量方法分析2021年度核心论文产出数量与出版数量的区域差异及学科差异,利用社会网络方法分析我国核心论文产出省域-出版省域关联特征,借助地理探测器分析区域关联和异地稿源数量的影响因素。【结果】 我国学术期刊布局不均衡,少数省域拥有绝大多数学术期刊。学术期刊布局总体呈空间负相关,山西、河北为局部洼地,广东为局部高地。核心论文产出与出版存在一定的多中心态势,且后者更加不均衡,总体上华中和东北地区较均衡,华北地区内部差异最大。学科层面,医学类和工业技术类期刊的区域不均衡性最甚。核心论文产出与出版关联关系集中在少数省域,两个“双向溢出版块”内部省域聚类特征明显,“经纪人版块”省域学术产出能力尚可,需加强自身期刊建设。期刊内部属性、科研投入是影响区域学术期刊发展的主导因素,省域学术产出越多,其学术期刊发展越繁荣,但易出现地域倾向。影响因子具有协同作用,区域内高校研究人员、经济支持、合作机构越多,越有利于形成良好的学术生态环境,从而促进学术交流和学术期刊的高质量建设。【结论】 我国学术期刊发展水平的区域不均衡性比学术产出的不均衡性更严峻,而加强人才培养、加大科研投入、适当提高出版频率有利于区域学术期刊发展并促进学术良性互动。
