Light: Science & Applications对标世界顶级光学期刊的卓越计划建设之路

【目的】 Light: Science & Applications(以下简称Light)通过对标世界顶级光学期刊,探索缩小与世界顶级光学期刊差距的对策与措施,打造我国自主建设的领军期刊,为我国一流科技期刊的建设提供参考和借鉴。【方法】 通过与同领域的世界顶级光学期刊Nature Photonics对标,分析Light和Nature Photonics在发文体量、总被引频次、辐射范围、作者分布和尖端论文方面的数据。【结果】 Light围绕发现的两刊在引领科学研究、深入科学家群体和加速科学传播这三个方面的差距,自受“中国科技期刊卓越行动计划”(以下简称“卓越计划”)资助以来,通过组织前沿热点和交叉学科专题,配合科学界重大事件引导科学研究;深入科学家群体,发掘高价值综述及重要学术成果;建设文章传播推广脉络,举办线上学术活动,建设高影响力学术期刊公众号等创新方式缩小差距。【结论】 Light作为“卓越计划”领军期刊,深知肩负的责任和使命,要从期刊建设方面真正起到领军的作用。在“卓越计划”的支持下Light不断对标世界顶级光学期刊,并探索世界一流科技期刊的建设方法,逐步缩小与世界顶级光学期刊的差距。

Light: Science & Applications benchmarks world top optical journal for higher-level development

Purposes] As a leading journal in the Excellence Action Plan for China STM Journals (hereinafter referred to as the Excellence Action Plan), Light: Science & Applications (hereinafter referred to as Light) benchmarks with world top optical journal Nature Photonics and implements a series of measures to narrow the gap. This paper discusses the gap between the two journals and the countermeasures of Light, aiming at providing a reference for building world first-class scientific journals. Methods] We statistically analyzed the annual number of papers published, total cites, discipline distribution, nationality of authors, and highly-cited papers of Light and Nature Photonics. Findings] In light of the gap with Nature Photonics in leading scientific research, cooperating with related professionals, and disseminating scientific outcomes, Light has taken a series of measures: designing special issues for academic frontiers, interdisciplinary topics, and major scientific events to lead scientific research, cooperating with relevant professionals to publish high-value reviews and important academic achievements, and establishing dissemination network by organizing online academic activities and opening the official account for high-impact academic journals, under the support of the Excellence Action Plan. Conclusions] As a leading journal of the Excellence Action Plan, Light has undertaken the responsibility and mission to benchmark with the world top optical journal and explore the methods for further development.
