Exploring the Professionalization Path of College Journal Editors From the Perspective of Identity Anxiety
The identity anxiety of college journal editors has always been accompanied by the professionalization process of editors.With the professionalization and standardization of the publishing industry,journal editors need to adapt to new job responsibilities and be subject to institutional constraints.However,the scholar identity and academic evaluation power granted by the university system make it difficult for them to completely break away from the academic community and become fully professional.The academic background of journal editors has both advantages and disadvantages on their professionalization.The professional attributes and social role of editors themselves,as well as their irreplaceability in publishing work,determine that they will inevitably develop towards a professional direction.University journals should start with top-level design,focus on more scientific allocation of editorial teams,and emphasize the cultivation of core competencies and comprehensive abilities of professional editors to adapt to the increasingly changing academic publishing landscape.
