Evaluation and publication delay in Ibero-American scientific journals

This article analyses the review, acceptance and publication dates of a sample of 21,890 articles from 326 Ibero-American scientific journals from all subject areas and countries included in the Latindex Catalogue 2.0 and published between 2018 and 2020 (freely available as an open access dataset). The aim is to discover evaluation and publication times. The evaluation process takes a median of 110 days, the publication process, a median of 82 days, and the whole process, a median of 224 days. Statistical differences are found according to periodicity, subject areas, countries, existence of a printed version and article type (Call for Papers or General articles). From the data we find that the delay in publication is longer than publishers themselves report to the DOAJ. STEM areas present the most similarity in publication patterns, having a higher number of evaluation days (Ed) than publication days (Pd); Arts and Humanities present the opposite pattern, with a higher Pd than Ed. In the case of Social Sciences, the times are similar. General articles and Call for Papers articles differ in terms of Ed, but not Pd, indicating that Call for Papers revisions are faster.     

Editorial H-score as a metric of inner authenticity for national scientific journals—Pilot study for the field of pedagogy

There is evidence that national scientific journals are important for local communities despite their limited audience due to national languages and topics, like in pedagogy. However, it is not easy to assess the level of scientific rigour of local journals, as most do not have available scientometric data and are often published in minority languages. We hypothesize that a possible manifestation of a latent trait of inner authenticity of the scientific journal (meaning the journal is accepted by a community interested in developing the field which conducts internationally accepted research) could be H-index of the editorial board members. To test this approach, we evaluated H-index and gender of editorial board members (n = 490) from 17 Czech and Slovak national science-oriented scientific pedagogical journals which were not indexed or indexed in Erih+ or Scopus, and compared this with the five lowest-rated journals from the same field indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database. The H-index of editorial board members was somewhat higher in indexed journals with those from WoS showing higher scores, and the number of board members with no discernable H-index was far greater in non-indexed journals. Editorial boards of journals indexed in WoS were mostly male, compared to a dominance of women on boards of non-indexed journals. Acknowledging the limited sample, it appears that the H-index of editorial board members may be a way to value national scientific journals.     

“世界一流科技期刊”背景下科技期刊的内在逻辑与路径探索

在“世界一流科技期刊”建设的背景下,我国科技期刊开启了新的征程。我国科技期刊学科排名、发文引文机构均有提升增长,初步取得成效,同时也存在着优质稿源外流、期刊体量不足、中英文期刊不相协调等问题。本文试图从“合理性”的视角切入,认为期刊要回归本真、改革创新,实现工具理性和价值理性的耦合,在国家顶层设计和期刊主体协同共进中实现科技期刊外延式向内涵式的跃迁。

我国科技期刊视频摘要的社交化传播及其优化策略研究

通过对社交媒体平台上科技期刊视频摘要的实践进行梳理,总结我国科技期刊视频摘要社交化传播现状,并提出优化策略。在微信平台搜索“视频摘要”,并按一定标准筛选,对最终查找到的30本科技期刊的相关数据进行统计和分析。结果显示,社交平台上科技期刊论文视频摘要的识别检索存在一定困难,明确标注使用“视频摘要”的较少,不同科技期刊在公众号或视频号上的视频摘要传播效果存在差异。总体而言,我国科技期刊视频摘要相关实践已取得一定成效,但也存在一定问题,需进一步规范使用与清晰标注,强化社交化、多模态化与有策略的传播,以提升传播效果,并拓展学术成果传播的多样可能。
