That is, periodicals sponsored by provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government and their subordinate ministries, commissions, departments and bureaus, and periodicals sponsored by institutions of higher learning.
Strictly speaking, there is no national or provincial distinction standard for periodicals and magazines. Because the General Administration of Press and Publication has long stated that there are only official and informal publications in China, and there is no hierarchical distinction between national periodicals and provincial periodicals. In real life, many people usually describe a publication as national and a publication as provincial or municipal. This division has certain comparative significance in practical use.
Periodicals are divided into two academic levels: general periodicals and core periodicals. General periodicals usually refer to periodicals other than core periodicals. Core journals usually refer to national Chinese core journals or CSSCI source journals, as well as core journals of science and technology and social sciences. The division of provincial and national periodicals is mainly administrative division. Usually, the national periodical refers to the director and the organizer is a national unit. Provincial periodicals refer to directors, and the organizers are provincial units.
What is a national periodical?
Generally speaking, national periodicals refer to periodicals sponsored by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the State Council and their subordinate departments, or periodicals sponsored by China Academy of Sciences, China Academy of Social Sciences, democratic parties and national people's organizations, and periodicals sponsored by national professional societies. In addition, publications clearly marked with the words "national journals" and "core journals" can also be regarded as national journals.
Differences between National Periodicals and Provincial Periodicals
The difference between provincial periodicals and national periodicals: in fact, the state has never classified publications, which means that there is no difference in influence and professionalism between provincial periodicals and national periodicals. The so-called distinction between national periodicals and provincial periodicals is mainly for the convenience of management, according to the level of periodical authorities. That is, the periodicals in charge of state units are national periodicals, and the periodicals in charge of provincial units are provincial periodicals.
Regularity identification method of ethnic periodicals
1 Domestic legal journals and illegal journals
Domestic periodicals are divided into formal periodicals and informal periodicals. Regular sci-tech periodicals are approved by the State Press and Publication Administration and the State Science and Technology Commission within the agreed number and incorporated into the "unified domestic serial number". The application for running a journal is relatively strict, and the editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief must be held by senior professional and technical personnel. There are certain requirements for the quality of editors, and regular periodicals have independent publishing policies. An informal periodical refers to a periodical that is approved by the administrative department to receive the "approval of internal newspapers and periodicals" as internal communication (generally limited to internal communication and not publicly issued), but it is also a legal periodical. Generally speaking, formal journals have gone through the process of informal journals. Illegal periodicals refer to illegal publications that are not registered as "internal publications" without the approval of the Press and Publication Administration and the State Science and Technology Commission. Their primary purpose is to make a profit and charge a high page fee. They are technically and politically irresponsible and cannot be issued publicly or internally in China. They usually spend 300 yuan to buy an ISSN number abroad to cheat teachers.
2. Number of domestic periodicals
All the official periodicals approved by the State Press and Publication Administration and the State Science and Technology Commission are incorporated into the "Domestic Unified Number". The serial number of official periodicals consists of two parts: the international standard serial number (ISSN) and the domestic unified serial number (CN) (the legal distribution of overseas periodicals in China must be filed by the Press and Publication Administration and approved by China Library Corporation, etc.). ). "CN" is the country code of China, lacking "domestic unified serial number (or domestic recognized serial number)".
Three Methods of Identifying Official Periodicals Publicly Published in China
Domestic public periodicals are allowed to be distributed at home and abroad, with a unified domestic serial number. Their serial number structure is: CN newspaper registration number/classification number. Only ISSN international serial numbers without a unified domestic serial number are not allowed to be publicly issued in China, and some are printed with CN(HK) or CNXXX (HK)/R, which are domestic serial numbers fabricated by domestic lawless elements to deceive readers who are eager to publish papers. The legal domestic unified serial number shall be indicated. Generally speaking, domestic official periodicals have the competent units of domestic state organs (non-China/China XX Association), and there are detailed editing and publishing mailing addresses and printing and publishing places in China. In addition to self-issuance, most of them are subscribed by post offices, so there are often postal codes. However, illegal periodicals only have international standard serial numbers or domestic CN serial numbers, even if they are "internal newspaper certification".
To sum up, papers published in international journals and magazines that have certain international influence and domestic approval numbers can be used by authors to improve their international popularity and influence. Of course, papers published in illegal journals may not be recognized in China. It should be said that it is meaningless to evaluate professional titles. As for how to resist the prevalence of these "illegal periodicals", on the one hand, the domestic press and publication departments should seriously investigate and deal with these "periodicals" to prevent legitimate newspapers from becoming such "periodicals"
The standard format of CN serial number is: CN XX-XXXX, in which the first two digits are the area numbers of provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government, and CN(HK/H) or CNXXX(HK)/NR/R is printed, which is not a legal domestic unified serial number.
The first two XX codes in the format are as follows:
1 1. Beijing 12. Tianjin 13. Hebei 14. Shanxi 15. Inner Mongolia autonomous region 2 1. Liaoning 22. Jilin 23. Heilongjiang 3 1. Shanghai. 7. Shandong Province 4 1. Henan province. Hubei province. Hunan province. Guangdong province. Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region
46. Hainan province Alternate number 48. Alternate number 49. Alternate number 50. Chongqing 5 1. Sichuan 52. Guizhou 54. Xizang Autonomous Region 6 1. Shaanxi 62. Gansu 63. Qinghai 64. Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
According to state regulations, it is illegal to run a magazine in different places. If the friends who submitted the journal find that there is no serial number in the above area, they should be able to compare and judge.
What is a core periodical?
The criteria for determining core journals can be summarized as follows: first, the authority of the host institution; second, the authority of the author of the article; third, the citation rate of the article and the half-life of the document (the index for determining the novelty of the article content, the half-life of general scientific and technological documents is shorter, while the half-life of social science documents is longer). To put it simply, core journals are the most important core journals, which are tracked and evaluated by academic circles through a set of scientific methods and classified and graded according to the theory of information science.
1. At present, in the international scientific community, how to correctly evaluate the achievements of basic scientific research has attracted more and more attention. However, the number of scientific papers collected by SCI and SSCI is regarded as an important evaluation index to measure a country's basic scientific research level, scientific strength and the number of scientific papers.
What are SCI, sssci and CSSCI?
1.SCI, namely, Science Citation Index, is a world-famous periodical literature retrieval tool created and published by institute for scientific information, USA. Through its strict selection criteria and evaluation procedures, the database carefully selects representative and authoritative scientific journals as data sources, claiming that these data sources contain more than 90% of the world's important scientific and technological documents, so the quality of the papers included in them is high, representing the advanced level in related fields at that time. It has collected more than 3,700 core journals published around the world in the fields of mathematics, science, chemistry, agriculture, forestry, medicine, life sciences, astronomy, geography, environment, materials, engineering technology and other natural sciences, making the documents collected by SCI comprehensively cover the most important and influential research achievements in the world.
An important feature of SCI is that it includes not only the authors, titles, source journals, abstracts, keywords and published information, but also the information of documents cited in each paper, and establishes a citation index. We can not only evaluate the academic value of articles from the perspective of literature citation, but also establish a reference network for research topics quickly and conveniently. SCI was established in 196 1. After 40 years of development and improvement, it has developed from a single printing type to a powerful electronic, integrated and networked large-scale multidisciplinary comprehensive retrieval system. Therefore, SCI is not only a document retrieval tool, but also a basis for scientific research evaluation. The total number of papers collected by SCI in scientific research institutions reflects the scientific research level of the whole institution, especially the basic research; The number of papers collected and cited by SCI reflects his research ability and academic level.
2. SSCI (Social Sciences Citation Index), a companion piece of SCI, was also founded by institute for scientific information, and it is a large-scale retrieval tool that can count the number of social science papers in different countries and regions. 1999 SSCI contains 1809 kinds of the most important social science journals in the world, covering 55 fields such as anthropology, law, economics, history, geography and psychology. The types of documents collected include: research papers, book reviews, special discussions, editorials, autobiographies, letters, etc. It selectively covers 1300 journals.
2. At present, the commonly used indexes of core journals in China include the catalogue of core journals such as CSSCI.
1.CSSCI scientific citation index reveals the internal relationship between scientific documents from the citation relationship between them. Through the statistics and analysis of quotations, we can reveal the basic trend of subject research development from an important aspect, evaluate the quality of scientific research, and provide first-hand information for the development and research of humanities and social sciences. The Chinese Social Science Citation Index (CSSCI) developed by Nanjing University is a key research project of the State and the Ministry of Education. In 2000, the project completed the construction of CSSCI citation database, and successively developed the online version and CD-ROM version of CSSCI database. After several years' efforts, the seven-year data of CSSCI (1998-2004) have been developed, and various forms of inquiry services have been provided for all walks of life on the Internet and domestic telecommunication networks, and obvious social benefits have been achieved. This achievement fills the blank of social science citation index in China and reaches the leading level in China.
At present, the Ministry of Education has regarded CSSCI data as an important assessment index for evaluating institutions and bases, achievement awards, project establishment and personnel training in universities across the country. The CSSCI database has been purchased and used by more than 100 companies in Peking University, Tsinghua University, China Renmin University, Wuhan University, Jilin University, Shandong University and Nanjing University, and it serves as an important basis for evaluation and review of regions, institutions, academics, disciplines, titles, projects and achievements.
CSSCI, as an important tool for statistical inquiry and evaluation of the main literature information of social sciences in China, provides a variety of information inquiry and retrieval methods, which can provide social science researchers with the frontier information of domestic social science research and the historical track of discipline development; Provide social science administrators with various statistical analysis data of regions, institutions, disciplines and scholars, and provide scientific and reasonable decision-making reference for formulating scientific research development plans and scientific research policies. At present, the CSSCI database of Nanjing University has provided services to the society. Services include online package database (package database institutions can use CSSCI database on any computer within a limited IP address range at any time) and online query (non-package users can query CSSCI database through the network). Entrusted query (users entrust Nanjing University to query CSSCI database and issue query report) and mobile phone query (China mobile users query CSSCI database by sending SMS). For details, please refer to the website of China Social Science Research and Evaluation Center of Nanjing University.
2. Overview of Chinese Core Journals is a research project jointly sponsored by Peking University Library and other institutions. On the basis of in-depth research on the evaluation theory and methods of core journals, the journals included are selected by combining quantitative and qualitative evaluation methods. In this discipline, there are a large number of papers, and the abstract rate, citation rate and reader utilization rate are relatively high, which has a high academic level and great influence. Since the first edition of 1992, five editions have been published so far, and the 2008 edition * * * contains 73 disciplines 1983 periodicals.
3. The Outline of Core Journals of Humanities and Social Sciences in China is a catalogue of core journals of social sciences researched and published by China Academy of Social Sciences. At present, the 2004 and 2008 editions have been published, and the 2008 edition * * * contains 386 periodicals in 24 disciplines. However, any evaluation system will have a certain scope of application, and the selection of core journals is no exception, which is not absolute. Therefore, when using the evaluation function of core journals to evaluate academic papers, we should pay attention to its limitations and make a comprehensive evaluation in combination with other evaluation systems.
