Latest selection criteria and case analysis of major international databases
[Purposes]This study aims to provide references for China's scientific journals to apply for major international databases by systematically examining the latest selection criteria.[Methods]We systematically studied the selection criteria of major international databases and the reasons for journal rejections through literature research,comparative analysis,and case studies.In addition,we conducted qualitative analysis on representative successful application journals.[Findings]Major international databases have strict standards and standardized procedures for journal selection.Chinese scientific journals must adhere strictly to these application processes and specifications when applying.They should meticulously prepare for the application process,conduct pre-self-assessments,and learn from recently successful application cases.[Conclusions]The inclusion in major international databases is crucial for disseminating China's scientific and technological achievements and enhancing academic influence.It can also propel China's scientific journals to the forefront globally.At the same time,China should actively enhance its information security capacity for scientific literature and strengthen the construction of publishing,communication,and service platforms with broad international influence.This will truly realize the internationalization of China's journals.
