Evaluation and Suggestions on the Professional Qualities of Editors of Forestry Science and Technology Journals
A survey was conducted using questionnaires to assess the professional qualities of editors of for-estry science and technology journals.The survey covered three primary indicators—professional competence,moral character,and psychological quality,as well as six secondary indicators—professional knowledge,profes-sional skills,ideological and moral standards,work attitude,cognitive ability,and adaptability.A total of 220 valid questionnaires were collected and analyzed to provide references for cultivating editorial talent.The results indi-cate that editors of forestry science and technology journals excel in subject-specific knowledge but lack expertise in publishing.They demonstrate strong editing and proofreading skills,layout design abilities,and information processing and application capabilities,but are relatively weak in the application of new media technologies.Overall,their moral character is upright,but they need to improve in terms of responsibility and initiative.Their psychological quality is in a relatively ideal state.A Pearson correlation analysis was conducted on the three ex-plicit capabilities of editorial knowledge,skills,and essential tools.The results showed significant(P<0.05)or highly significant(P<0.01)positive correlations among the indicators,suggesting that these explicit capabilities complement each other.Based on the survey results,suggestions are proposed for further enhancing the profes-sional qualities of editors of forestry science and technology journals.
