客观反映是科技期刊质量评定的重要依据

科技期刊是进行学术交流的媒介和传播最新科技信息的载体。提高质量是办好期刊的中心环节,而对期刊质量的评价则是促进提高期刊水平的重要手段。作者指出,客观反映是科技期刊质量评定的重要依据。鉴于期刊门类多,涉及面广,故必须按学术类(包括学报及通报)及技术类分别从科技期刊所起的作用、内容及形式等客观反映去衡量评定其质量高低。以《化工学报》为例,结合作者的反馈信息体现出该刊论文所起作用,并通过联机检索得悉美国《化学文摘》(CA)对该刊的选摘率高达93％以上,体现出其内容是优质的。另参考国外同类学报对比中找差距。明确改进目标。此外,出版、印刷行业评比为优质书刊,则是编辑和印刷装帧水平的客观体现。
