CSCD periodical is the abbreviation of the source periodical of Chinese scientific citation database, and it is a type of domestic core periodical. CSCD is a large comprehensive scientific and technological literature database jointly managed and built by China Academy of Sciences and National Natural Science Foundation of China.
It is one of the most important academic journals in China, aiming at collecting core journals and excellent journals published in Chinese and English in the fields of mathematics, physics, chemistry, astronomy, geoscience, biology, agriculture and forestry, medicine and health, engineering technology and environmental science.
CSCD journals have a high level and are widely recognized by scholars and experts in various fields. The journals included in CSCD journals have a high academic level and influence. In academic evaluation, the recognition of CSCD journals is second only to the top core journals in China, such as China Science and Science Bulletin. Therefore, CSCD journals have an important position and influence in domestic academic circles, and are an important display platform for scholars and experts in various fields.
The difference between core journals and CSCD journals
Core journals refer to journals with high academic level and influence selected according to certain evaluation criteria in a specific discipline or field. These journals are generally regarded as the most important academic journals in this discipline or field, and have gathered a large number of high-quality academic papers. The evaluation criteria of core journals include academic level, influence and cited frequency.
In terms of academic evaluation, both core journals and CSCD journals enjoy high recognition and influence, but there are also some differences. For example, in some disciplines or fields, some journals may be considered as core journals but not included in CSCD, or conversely, some journals may be included in CSCD but not considered as core journals.
