BEIJING Anthony Beauvillier Islanders Jersey , Nov. 29 (Xinhua) -- In most university libraries in China, it is easy to find the latest western academic resources, but it is difficult to find Chinese academic resources in the west.
This awkward position has been called "asymmetry in the changing world cultural order" by Roger Ames, professor of the University of Hawaii and co-director of the Asian Studies Development Program of the East-West Center, in his speech in Beijing Normal University on Nov. 18.
About 2.13 million Chinese scholars publish nearly two million academic articles in 6,449 academic periodicals of China each year Casey Cizikas Islanders Jersey , with 3.2 billion annual downloads.
At the "2017 Forum on the future of China Academic Journals" on Nov. 22 and 23, publication experts across China and over 8,000 academic journal employees joined to seek a resolution to break this asymmetry of academic journal development.
In his opening speech, Shi Feng, director of the China Periodicals Association, said that periodicals played a key role in boosting innovative development Adam Pelech Islanders Jersey , creative talent training, domestic and overseas cultural exchange and Chinese soft power.
In recent years, Chinese periodicals have witnessed both quantitative and qualitative development, as well as digital transformation. However, many experts say academic journal development still falls short.
In 2016, 23.4 percent of science academic articles by Chinese scholars were published in overseas journals.
"This indicates a mismatch between the overall development of academic journals and the level of creativity in China Calvin De Haan Islanders Jersey , which poses a serious challenge to academia," said Xiao Hong of the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI).
In 2017, the forum released a report on the global and domestic influence of China's academic journals. China's academic journals still lack promptness in "online first publication."
In the digital era, online first publication has become an arena of international academic competition.
"Publication is the priority," said Zhu Bangfen, chairman of the China Editology Society
