Strong publication quality promotes openness and sharing ︱ Focus on the annual meeting

Open science is becoming a global practice. It is not only a profound change in scientific research paradigm and scientific and technological governance, but also a major opportunity for the global academic publishing system to reshape.

On June 24-25, around the new development theme of science and technology journals in the open scientific era, scholars and experts from the international science and publishing community focused on the trend of academic publication in the open scientific environment at the Fifth World Science and Technology Journal Forum, and enhanced the impact of new journals. In -depth exchanges and discussions are conducted to promote the opening and sharing of global scientific research information.

The diversified practice of open acquisition

"Science and technology papers are a special knowledge power, not a special luxury goods, which play a vital role in our scientific progress." Former Chairman of the International Science and Data Committee, former member of the British Council, Edinburgh Geoffrey Boulton, the honorary vice president of the university, bluntly, we should ensure that the attributes of their public items have made more contributions to the opening of the paper.

Open acquisition is the earliest derived from European and American countries, and it has now been promoted to the world. Caroline Sutton, CEO of the International Science and Technology and Medical Publisher Association, said that during the transitional phase of traditional subscribed journals to open the transformation, the diversified practice of the open acquisition model should be supported.

The main path for open acquisition includes golden open acquisition and green open acquisition. Caroline Sutton mentioned that some publishers currently choose a model of mixed open acquisition, and the journals will also publish open papers and subscription papers. In her opinion, different publishing models can be existed because their adaptability in different countries is different.

China has been committed to the construction of a new scientific ecosystem, and the open acquisition of supporting scientific research papers has risen to the legislative level. From January 1, 2022, the newly revised "Science and Technology Progress Law" was officially implemented. Article 95 stipulates that the state has strengthened the construction of academic journals, improved scientific research papers and scientific and technological information exchange mechanisms, promoted the development of open science, and promoted scientific and technological exchanges and spread.

According to Zhang Tieming, the chairman of the Science and Technology Periodical Research Association of China University, from 2011 to 2021, China opened its publication. According to relevant international search database statistics, the average annual growth rate of China's international papers was 14.7%, while the average annual growth rate of open acquisition papers was 25.2%, of which the average annual growth rate of gold opening the paper reached 30.5%.

"It is worth mentioning that in the selected journal of the Chinese Science and Technology Journal Excellent Action Plan, the proportion of open acquisition is as high as 91%, and the high starting journal is almost all published in the form of open acquisition." Zhang Tieming said.

There is still a lot of room for open acquisition operations. Zhang Tieming talked: "We must actively promote the transformation of Chinese scientific and technological journals to openness; further connect with international standards, and promote more Chinese open journals and databases to be connected by internationally open retrieval; Get the level of infrastructure, study and formulate China's own open acquisition standards and specifications, explore open practical paths with Chinese characteristics; actively promote the exchange and cooperation between Chinese academic organizations and international academic organizations, jointly maintain scientific research integrity, and participate in academic governance.

Ensure the impact of the publication of the publication quality

Whether it is traditional subscription or open acquisition, ensuring the quality of publication and improving the influence are always the foundation of the journal, especially for a new issue, which also constitutes an important challenge.

Shi Yongchao, deputy president of the Science and Technology Herald, director of the Chinese Science and Technology Journal Editorial Society, and the head of Research, whether a new journal can attract the author mainly depends on three factors: the quality of review, the speed of publishing, and the influence of the journal.

"High -quality review can improve the quality of academic articles, quickly publishing can meet the author's publishing needs, and high influence can make the author gain greater competitive advantage." Shi Yongchao said.

He takes Research's review mechanism as an example. "We have established a set of innovative review processes, divided into three steps. The first is the editor's first screen, then the editorial board of the board, and the last time the peer review. The first two steps are guaranteed within 5 days. The number of days in the manuscript is about 80 days. "Shi Yongchao said that the fastest article took only 10 days from submission to publishing. This fast publishing channel is very attractive to the author.

Wang Jie, a senior publisher of Keai Publishing House and the head of "Biological Activation Materials", said that the journal must first pay attention to his international construction, whether it is the team of editorial committees, authors teams, or readers.

"In the early days of the establishment of the new issue, the editorial committee team was core forces. The international editorial team team can expand both influence and attract foreign manuscripts." Wang Jie introduced that at present, 70% of the international editorial board of "Biological Activation Materials" accounts for 70% Essence In addition, 13 of the 14 deputy editors from Europe and the United States, 7 are female scientists. This guarantees the internationalization and diversity of journals.

Secondly, under the premise of ensuring the quality of the journal, the number of publishing publications should be increased year by year, and a journal with a volume of hundreds or even thousands of publications is finally formed. Wang Jie believes that the amount of journals has increased and influence will expand.

In the end, she particularly emphasized to build a journal group and condense more authors and readers. "The influence of a journal may be limited, but a journal group can greatly increase the influence."

According to Wang Jie, through the leading effect of "Biological Activation Materials", Keai Publishing House incubated a number of interdisciplinary journals in the material field, and gradually formed a journal matrix composed of 17 sisters journals. At the same time, Keai Publishing House actively and domestic universities with a leading position in the country, including cooperation between Central South University and Shandong University, to support each other, support each other, cluster promotion, and expand influence.

Focus on the attention of the scientific community quickly

It is necessary to be hard to hit the iron, but the wine is afraid of the alley. How can the new issue quickly focus on the attention of the scientific community?

SCOTT CherNoff, a product development manager of the American Science Promotion Association (AAAS), mentioned in the sharing that a effective way to attract new authors from the recommendation, including peer recommendation, editorial board recommendation, and academic organization recommendation.

"The editorial committee often has very rich academic resources, which can play a very critical role in communication and connection. Therefore, we will regularly update the editorial team team." Scott CherNoff said, "When choosing the editorial board, we not only pay attention to their popularity, but also have their popularity. How high, how high they are, how high their activity is, to how much can help us promote journals. "

In addition, AaaS found that marketing is very important for improving the influence of journals. "About 25%of the new authors met for the first time that a new journal was e -mail, or some online and offline promotion and propaganda activities."

Interestingly, some new authors will follow the ranking of the journal through search engines. "The higher the ranking, the higher the attention." Scott Chernoff believes that this also reminds that journals should pay special attention to their ranking in search engines when promoting operations.

SUSAN Reiss, executive editor -in -chief of Science Advances, explained his views from the perspective of scientific communication. "There is also an important part of the scientific research papers after the publication of the publication, that is, the spread of scientific research papers. The spread of scientific research papers helps to increase the influence of papers and magazines."

Susan Reiss introduced that Science has a high -quality media operation team. They will introduce the highlights of important papers published every week and share them with major media and reporters to help readers better understand these scientific research results.

With the increasingly important role of social networks in the dissertation, Science also pays great attention to the use of major social media platforms to spread content, accumulate reputation, and increase popularity.

"We need to integrate these channels, including traditional media, social media, emails, academic conferences, exhibitions, etc., to promote our scientific journals in all directions," Susan Reiss said.
