Construction and analysis of group portrait of journals funded by Excellence Action Plan for China STM Journals:A case study of leading and key journals
[Purposes]This paper aims to construct a group portrait of journals funded by the Excellence Action Plan for China STM Journals,providing multi-dimensional data support for quantitatively identifying and analyzing the effectiveness of funding,and proposing optimization suggestions.[Methods]We developed quantitative indicators to analyze the content quality,dissemination quality,academic influence,social influence,and operational characteristics of leading journals and key journals under the Excellence Action Plan for China STM Journals.We conducted static and dynamic portrait analysis and explored the correlation between journal funding and portrait indicators.[Findings]Journals funded by the Excellence Action Plan for China STM Journals exhibit high content quality and dissemination quality,and strong academic and social influence,but with significant individual variations.There is a noticeable enhancement in journal content quality,dissemination quality,and academic influence.The level of open access is correlated with academic influence improvement.The funding contributes significantly to indicators such as the year-on-year growth rate of published papers,hot topic papers,highly cited papers,and golden open access papers.[Conclusions]The funding policy has a positive impact on the construction of journals,and a multi-dimensional portrait of journals aids in showcasing the effectiveness of funding.
