现阶段中国动物学学科期刊出版需求——基于1997—2019年SCIE动物学学科全球出版态势分析

【目的】 通过分析1997—2019年SCIE动物学学科全球出版态势,明确现阶段中国动物学学科的出版需求,为我国相关科研、出版管理评价机构、期刊编辑等相关人员制定合理的论文产出及科技出版发展目标,明确读者、作者群体,制定个性化期刊影响力提升策略提供参考依据。【方法】 基于SCIE数据库,选取5个时间节点,对SCIE动物学学科期刊的出版体量、作者贡献度、影响因子等指标进行统计、比较与分析。【结果】 在过去的23年中,动物学学科SCIE收录期刊的中值影响因子、集合影响因子、载文量及开放获取期刊比例均呈现大幅增长。美国、英国、德国在优质期刊资源方面处于明显的优势地位。近10年来,中国作者的学科发文贡献度显著上升,而中国期刊总数及载文量仍处于较低水平。【结论】 目前,我国动物学学科SCIE期刊的出版体量已不能与其迅速增长的科技产出能力相匹配,在国际期刊资源日益向少数发达国家集中的背景下,我国期刊出版机构需充分利用我国对科技期刊的各项强有力的支持条件,加大新刊创办力度。

Current academic publishing demand of zoology in China: Based on global publishing trend of zoology in SCIE from 1997 to 2019

Purposes] By analyzing global publishing trend of zoology in SCIE from 1997 to 2019, this paper aims to gain an insight into the current publishing demand of this subject in China, which is expected to provide reference data for research institutions, publishing management and evaluation agencies, and editors to set a reasonable goal on paper output and scientific publishing development, clarify target readers and authors, and formulate personalized strategies for improving journal impact. Methods] The publishing volume, contribution of authors from different nationalities to the volume, impact factor, and other indexes of SCIE-indexed zoology journals at five time points in 1997-2019 were compared and analyzed. Findings] In the 23 years, the median impact factor, aggregate impact factor, annual number of papers, and proportion of open access journals of the SCIE-indexed zoology journals soared. The US, United Kingdom, and Germany enjoyed a large percentage of quality journals. From 2008 to 2019, the proportion of papers published by scholars from China on this subject has significantly risen, but the number of Chinese SCIE-indexed zoology journals and the number of papers have kept at a low level. Conclusions] The publishing capacity of Chinese SCIE-indexed zoology journals fail to keep pace with the rapid development of this subject. Facing the gradual increase of quality journals from developed countries, journal publishers in China should make full use of the national supportive resources to launch new journals on this subject.
