[Purposes]Based on STM Trends 2028,this study explores the future development trends of Chinese scientific journals,aiming to foster academic dialogue and exchange with Western journal researchers.[Methods]We used comparative analysis,case study,and summarization methods to explore the reasons for the formation of trend judgment in STM Trends 2028,verify and respond to the content of STM Trends 2028 from the perspective of the Chinese journal industry,and analyze the shortcomings of STM Trends 2028.[Findings]Western scientific journal industry has begun to diverge from the academic world due to an excessive focus on commercial profits.The Chinese scientific journal community should remain vigilant to avoid repeating these mistakes.There is consensus among Western scientific journal industry and domestic peers that artificial intelligence will be a significant development direction for scientific journals.Western scientific journals often underappreciate the role of government;however,for Chinese scientific journals,the government is a crucial driving force.[Conclusions]Chinese scientific journal community should critically assess Western experiences,learning from their successes,while identifying their shortcomings.In addition,it should define the characteristics of Chinese scientific journals to develop a path that reflects Chinese characteristics.
