The development of digital technology and the Internet is changing not only fabulous to the real world, and created a real world corresponds to a new world: the online world. In the Internet age, who ignored the Internet, refused to the Internet, one might lose the opportunity to lose the future. Academic journals are no exception, also suffered a development of the Internet has brought opportunities and challenges. Sector is widely recognized academic journals academic journals the importance of digital technology, but where to start, how to cut but is generally felt difficult problem, the number of academic journals urgent need for the construction of new thinking, new ideas.
Academic disseminators from producers to change the academic
The original purpose of academic journals is dissemination of scholarship, but for various reasons, the traditional academic journal editors work focuses on changes in the article, documents verification and proofreading, etc., can be said that an important part of academic production, much effort is spent in the release , widespread circulation of small, widely spread range of non-academic achievements, not high conversion rate, transmission range is extremely limited, primarily for scholars, academics, service. The spread of the Internet for academic provides a new platform for the development of academic journals provides an opportunity for academic journals already have the communications function will be demonstrated, the construction of digital scholarly journals spread awareness of the need to establish first.
From the communication point of view, an academic journal in the Internet age is a community of academic information collection, collation, processing and dissemination, it is not only academic producers or disseminators of scholarly information; not only to serve scholars, academics, also serve the community, academic and practice to set up a bridge of communication with each other to enhance the influence of the academic community, to promote social rationality. Spread awareness of this establishment, number of academic journals for the construction of open ideas for the development of open space for academic journals.
From passive to active digital digital transition
Academic journals and digital content requires a combination of technology, technical solutions need to cooperate with the content side, but in the present conditions, both of which can hardly be perfect, seem to grasp the content of unfamiliar technology, to master technology, lack of understanding of the academic, separation technology and content into the digital construction of academic journals major difficulty.
Journals from our point of view of digital work processes, technology and technology is still based on the dominant side, the traditional academic journals social work due to the impact of the lack of network technology and the necessary inputs, can not work independently of digital technology, can that is basically being digitized.
From the early situation, the agency has not yet had time to reflect on many journals do not even have carefully read the terms of the agreement to join the national database of several journal papers and this is conducive to promoting academic research, to promote the conversion of the use of academic resources, but this is not true sense of academic journals digital construction. Construction of digital academic journals should take the initiative to digitize scholarly journals, academic journals that only digital can really take the initiative to promote academic activities, innovative ways to generate academic network of the Internet age, only the significance of academic innovation.
Currently, the number of active construction of academic journals have a lot of work to do: have a sense of investment, to be equipped with relevant technical and editorial staff; have a sense of cooperation, to take the initiative to strengthen cooperation with large databases and contacts, but also to strengthen the journal between cooperation and communication, sharing of databases, the establishment of mutually beneficial cooperation; have a sense of innovation, to take the initiative to explore the development and utilization of secondary academic achievements, the initiative to explore the needs of society, according to the journal and local characteristics initiative to explore the characteristics of the database building. Through investment, partnership and innovation, the establishment of academic journals and community website features a database of features to better serve the academic and community service.
Journals from paper to digital publishing digital change
Most academic journals to explore the digital society will be more limited to the paper's content onto the computer, adding several large domestic academic journal database, the use of paid or unpaid on the Internet, which is actually the number of paper journals still remain in the technical level, but not to raise the level of content development. Digital broader academic journals should focus on the prospects for the development and promotion of content, from this perspective, the number of academic journals should be turned to start the construction of the path of digital journal publishing, and explore digital publishing.
Digital Journal paper journals to break the layout constraints, it may break through the publication of the Issues Management restrictions, it is possible to have the academic journal Social resources through digital technology or the Internet to maximize the mining, sorting and dissemination of existing comprehensive journals Society can publish series of digital periodicals, journals and explore the comprehensive combination of professional journals direction of development can also be based on theoretical perspectives, research methods, research Material Differences subdivision publications, thus closer to the academic research process so as to provide more academic innovation good service.
