我国科技期刊发展面临的问题与破解之道

科技期刊是传播科技成果的主要载体,是展示一个国家科技实力的重要窗口,办好科技期刊,不断提高我国科技期刊质量和国际影响力,对科研工作和国家科技的发展有着重要的意义.近年来,我国科研论文产出的数量在快速增长,学术论文质量也在不断提高,但我国科技期刊的学术质量却明显滞后于科研水平,精品科技期刊数量不多,期刊的国际影响力较低.而我国绝大多数优秀的科技论文都投给了国外期刊,使得国内科技期刊面临着长远发展的困境.本文概述了国内优秀学术论文在国外发表的情况,分析了优质稿件外流的原因,并为我国科技期刊“走出去”提出了四点建议.     

国内科技期刊为何拿不到优秀论文？

从国际主要科技期刊上发表的论文不难看出,我国科技工作者每年发表的论文占世界论文总数的8．4％,居世界第二。遗憾的是,这些发表中国人研究成果的优秀期刊,大多数都是国外期刊。高质量的中国科技期刊的缺位,已成为业界公认的事实。中国科技期刊如何通过提高自身质量吸引顶尖科学家发表学术成果,这成为昨天举行的第五届中国科技期刊发展论坛的焦点话题。

全球化中与我国科技期刊相关的自我歧视

分析全球化中与我国科技期刊相关的各种自我歧视表现:1)科技评价机构对国内期刊评价系统和期刊发表论文的歧视;2)作者投稿的自我歧视;3)引文的自我歧视;4)版面费支付和订阅的自我歧视。这种自我歧视导致国内科技期刊发展举步维艰,应引起全社会的重视。     

科技期刊引证指标与刊物影响力关系

从总被引频次和影响因子两个主要引证指标的定义和意义入手,分析了总被引频次、影响因子与科技期刊影响力的关系,探讨了科技期刊影响力的要素以及中国科学引文数据库(CSCD)、中国科技论文与引文数据库(CSTPCD)、中国社会科学引文索引(CSSCI)、中国学术期刊全文数据库(CAJ)、中文科技期刊引文数据库(VIP)等国内重要检索系统中期刊收录上的差别.     

British Writings on Romania: From Travel Accounts to Studies

This article surveys a sample of sources of the information about Romania available to British readers in nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals. It traces first contacts between the Romanian lands and Britain after the union of the principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia in 1859, then after their independence from the Ottoman Empire. The article highlights an increased Romanian interest in British periodicals, which reported and reviewed Romanian literature and scholarship. The article concludes that nineteenth century British newspapers and periodicals offer a great variety and wealth of new material previously unavailable or unknown to researchers. It also states that only a portion of a large quantity of this material has been indexed and is therefore available via the bibliographic sources mentioned in the article. The author argues for the need of a new and updated British-Romanian bibliography, which can draw on new online resources offering access to thousands of new newspapers and periodical records.     

Slavic Approval Plans: What Works and What Doesn't

ABSTRACT

The paper looks at library approval plans for material published in Slavic, East European, and Eurasian countries from the selector's point of view. Reasons why a selector would or would not want one are examined. Success with approval plans requires monitoring receipts, as well as good and ongoing communication among the selector, the acquistions department, and the vendor. A preliminary list of vendors offering approval plans for the countries of the region appears in the appendix.

Politicking for the Public Library

ABSTRACT

In today's current political environment raising support for millage renewals, bond campaigns or even millage continuations for public libraries is affected by national politics, and a tendency towards tax aversion on principle across the country. The lessons we can learn from the governing boards of small and rural public libraries are worth raising up to a greater national consciousness. Board governance, community consciousness, and facilities management are clear and logical tools that elected boards of public libraries can use to politick for support of libraries.     

Architectures of Knowledge and Literary Tradition: A History of the Almanac in Croatia

ABSTRACT

The history of the almanac in Croatia is reconstructed through primary research in bibliographic and archival sources. The almanac is a vehicle for knowledge communication in informal contexts, engaging both oral tradition and literary forms traceable to medieval literacy and ways of structuring knowledge. The history of the almanac in Croatia reflects the changing context of the book trade, literacy, and the evolution of language. Four main stages are identified: (1) the beginning of the annual almanac in the seventeenth century; astrological almanacs reflecting the sensibility of the Baroque period; (2) the Enlightenment's stimulation of almanac publishing in the spirit of contemporary secular reforms in agriculture and education; (3) nineteenth-and twentieth-century almanac trade, showing complex and overlapping networks for the production, distribution and appropriation of printed almanacs;(4) roughly the end of World War II, when the almanac slowly moved out of the role of a popular mass medium and into specialized niches represented by regional, diaspora, and religious almanacs.

Germany's New Culture of Welcome—Our Libraries are an Essential Part of it

ABSTRACT

German authorities are expecting more than 1 million refugees by the end of 2015. These people come to Germany to seek protection and assistance and to build a new life, therefore it is important to welcome them and to assist them in their integration as soon as possible. This situation creates a versatile and perfectly fitting opportunity for cultural and educational programs, including libraries, which can play a vital role in this integration process. The key to integration is the knowledge of the German language, and the most important challenge now is to teach the necessary language skills to as many asylum-seekers as possible.     

Syndicating Rich Bibliographic Metadata Using MODS and RSS

Abstract

Many libraries use RSS to syndicate information about their collections to users. A survey of 65 academic libraries revealed their most common use for RSS is to disseminate information about library holdings, such as lists of new acquisitions. Even though typical RSS feeds are ill suited to the task of carrying rich bibliographic metadata, great potential exists for developing applications that can exploit metadata exposed to Web services via RSS. Using the MODS metadata format, entire catalog records can be seamlessly embedded in RSS 2.0 feeds. Existing tools, such as Library of Congress Java toolkits and XSLT stylesheets, can facilitate this process, while a new XSLT stylesheet may be used to create the RSS feeds complete with MODS records. As an example of the added functionality these MODS/RSS feeds can offer, records from a MODS-enriched RSS feed can be ingested into a non-RSS application such as Zotero. As more emerging library technologies use Web services architectures to handle data objects, the ability to syndicate catalog records will become more critical to providing innovative library Web services.     

Selling Women on PDAs from “Simply Palm” to “Audrey”: How Moore's Law Met Parkinson's Law in the Kitchen

This essay investigates key moments in the history of personal digital assistant (PDA) marketing to women. Analyzing promotional texts for three PDAs that received considerable press coverage from 1999 to 2001, this essay explores the cultural significance of the convergence of anxieties about women's place in the gendered division of labor with the computer industry's changing marketing imperatives. Drawing on an array of promotional texts, including news articles, press releases, promotional Web sites, and ads appearing in newspapers and magazines, this paper tells the story of how the computer industry aimed to sell smaller, faster computing devices to women while promising to mediate and thus reproduce women's overwork as paid and familial laborers. After experimenting with the PDA as a sexy fashionable gadget for working women, marketers approached women as mothers with “Audrey,” an Internet appliance designed for the kitchen.
