中国科技期刊编辑部对知识服务认知及建设情况的调查和分析

【目的】 探究科技期刊编辑部对知识服务的知晓度、开展情况、面临问题及未来的发展规划,为推动科技期刊的融合出版转型提供参考。【方法】 通过问卷星向国内科技期刊编辑发放知识服务调查问卷,从对知识服务的理解、开展知识服务相关工作的建设情况、未来开展知识服务的需求与意愿等方面展开调研。【结果】 本次调研共回收有效问卷264份。调查显示中国科技期刊编辑自认对知识服务的认识程度较高,也考虑提供知识服务。但由于各编辑部数字出版的程度不同,他们对知识服务的内涵和外延的认识存在差异。大部分期刊虽然开展了类似的工作,但均以信息化服务为主,且规模化、系统性不足,很多编辑部也未将知识服务嵌入到工作流程中。未来,他们期望知识服务模式可以更加多样化,但缺乏专业的人才和有力的资金支持以及成熟的盈利模式是编辑部面临的主要问题。【结论】 目前中国科技期刊知识服务建设方兴未艾,编辑部应转变思想,科学研判自身优势,深度挖掘用户需求,探索知识服务新模式,加快从传统出版商向知识服务商的转型。

An investigation of knowledge service in Chinese scientific journals

[Purposes] This paper aims to investigate the awareness, practice, problems, and development plan of knowledge service in scientific journals, which is expected to serve as a reference for integrated publishing of scientific journals. [Methods] We designed a questionnaire on knowledge service and distributed it to editors of scientific journals in China via Sojump to probe into the awareness, practices, and demands of knowledge service and the intention to carry out knowledge service. [Findings] A total of 264 valid questionnaires were recovered. Most editors of Chinese scientific journals (237, 89.8%) reported a deep understanding of knowledge service and 192 journals (72.7%) have adopted various methods for knowledge dissemination. However, the digitalization and understanding of the intension and extension of knowledge service are different among journals. Related practices are mainly the small-scale non-systematic informationization services. The majority failed to integrate knowledge services in their traditional work flow. However, they expected diversified knowledge service modes despite the lack of professionals, financial support, and mature profit mode. [Conclusions] At present, knowledge service in Chinese scientific journals is in the ascendant and journals should break with tradition and explore knowledge service modes based on their advantages and user need, to promote the development in knowledge service.
