Review on 20th anniversary of Chinese Optics Letters's founding:Exploration and practice of reform and innovation
[Purposes]Under the competitive pressure of numerous emerging English journals,taking an earlier established English scientific journal as an example,this study explores how the journal reforms and breaks through to find a development path that suits itself.[Methods]Taking the first optical English journal in China,Chinese Optics Letters(COL),as an example,this study focused on the exploration and practice of a series of reforms and innovations in COL and summarized them.[Findings]COL has vigorously promoted its internationalization,digitization,and clustering development through a series of measures such as reforming previous editorial boards,transforming editorial work modes,improving paper quality,and strengthening journal characteristics,which help COL to successfully attract high-quality manuscript sources and maintain its mainstream position in the optical field.Its international influence and impact factor have continued to increase,with the impact factor increasing from 0.804 to 3.5,leaping to the Q2 zone of the journal in optics and ranking among the top in terms of number of publications.[Conclusions]The development path of COL has a certain degree of universality and feasibility,which may provide a reference for other scientific journals in China.
