Academic quality influencing factors of Chinese journals from the perspective of contributors

[Purposes] This paper discusses the factors influencing the academic quality of Chinese journals from the perspective of contributors and further provides suggestions for the high-quality development of them. [Methods] We interviewed 29 experienced contributors and collected the online comments on 45 journals. Then we performed open coding, axis coding, and selective coding of the above data on the basis of the Grounded Theory, and carried out the theoretical saturation test. Thereby, we summarized the factors influencing the academic quality of Chinese journals from the contributors' perspective, constructed an influencing factor model, and further proposed targeted strategies for improving the quality of Chinese journals. [Findings] From the perspective of contributors, the academic quality of journals is affected by four factors which constitute the influencing factor model. The attraction to high-quality papers, standard publishing process, professional peer review, and characteristic subject are respectively the basis of, core of, guarantee for, and key to the academic quality of Chinese journals. [Conclusions] The following suggestions are recommended for improving the overall academic quality of Chinese journals: reforming the current journal evaluation and academic evaluation system, optimizing the review process and publication mode, improving the mechanism for selecting and evaluating review experts, and developing preponderant columns and characteristics subjects.
