Through analysis of Open Access(OA)related factors involved in publishing contracts and the current status of OA journal,this paper discussed the precautions for China's sci-tech journals during signing contract with international publishers regarding OA rights and interests.The gold OA and hybrid OA data of the related journals were compared,and the contribution of OA papers of hybrid OA journals was analyzed from the perspectives of average and detailed partitioning.The results showed that the proportion of traditional subscription journals in the Q1 region was less than 9%.Half of the outstanding journals in the five categories had lower citation contribution among OA papers compared to subscription papers.However,the OA papers of the leading and key journals in China STEM journal Excellence Action Plan exhibited higher citation contribution.Based on the above results,we put forward the following suggestions:seeking for better cooperation with domestic and foreign publishers,and encouraging the authors to choose the Creative Commons Attribution License(CC-BY);striving for non-exclusive rights in whole or in part for the journals with a high degree of cited contribution in OA papers;obtaining government funds to develop and optimize OA cooperation mode;selecting the appropriate time for the transformative journal plan by analyzing the current status and development trend of the cited contribution of the papers;regularly reporting analyzed data for OA and non-OA papers;and planning dissemination activities based on the hotspot content of OA.In the game of high OA publishing fees and output cost performance,optimizing the content of international publishing contracts could effectively improve the citation contribution of OA papers,help the transformation and development of OA journals,and promote the healthy and sustainable development of OA publishing in China.
