Dynamic Study on Academic Influence of Sci-tech Journals in Shandong Province
[Purpose/Significance]Academic impact is vital for the vitality of journals.The evaluation results of academic impact in science and technology journals not only influence the submission preferences of researchers but also play a significant guiding role in the development of these journals.The results of this study can provide certain data for the management departments of science and technology journals,serving as a reference for improving the academic impact of journals and formulating future development strategies,and lay a foundation for the establishment of core journals in library collections.[Methods/Processes]Thirteen bibliometric indicators from the"Chinese Science and Technology Journal Citation Reports(Expanded Edition)"(2016-2020)released by the Institute of Scientific and Technical Information of China were used as basic metadata.By employing bibliometric methods,the dynamic changes in the academic impact of science and technology journals in Shandong Province were comprehensively analyzed.[Limitations]There is a lack of systematic review of relevant research in the field of the research problem.The reference value of other provinces or countries needs further exploration.[Results/Conclusions]The academic impact of science and technology journals in Shandong Province continues to improve,with most journals'source and citation indicators showing an increasing trend year by year.However,the overall annual publication volume of science and technology journals in Shandong Province shows a decreasing trend.Journals in different disciplines exhibit distinct differences in academic impact,such as the slower aging rate of articles in journals related to astronomy and earth sciences,agricultural and forestry sciences,and transportation;the highest mean h-index values in journals related to environmental and safety sciences,biological sciences,and medicine and health;and transportation journals ranking lowest in multiple indicators.Various journals demonstrate clear academic hierarchy in different indicators,indicating uneven impact.
