“创新” 与“棒”期刊 —— 浙大学报英文版（JZUS）为行业好刊

We all know that the world of journals publishing is changingrapidly, and there are constant pressures for innovation and new models to bedeveloped. The recent shortlist for the ALPSP Awards for Innovation in Publishing (winner to be announced at the conference) highlights some truly inspiring developments beingintroduced by publishers around the world.

众而周知，当今信息业的创新与出版模式的开发压力陡增，促进了全球期刊出版的日新月异，2014年全球学术与专业出版者协会（ALPSP）出版创新奖将要在9月12日ALPSP国际会议上尘埃落定，无论花落谁家都是出版业的一种期待，更是全球出版业对创新项目的一种认可和赞誉，很可能又是一轮新的出版革命的到来。

But in the race to evolve, adapt and develop,are we losing sight of what constitutes a good journal? What about the unsungheroes of the international publishing world that toil behind the scenes toimprove what they do and how they do it? They may not be doing things that theindustry recognises as innovative or receive the plaudits that accrue to theinnovators, but their contribution to excellence in research dissemination isno less significant.

但是，在期刊进化、改变和发展的征程中，我们是否忘记了什么是真的好期刊？是否忽视了那些为期刊国际化发展做出贡献的幕后英雄？也许他们所为并没有被业界认为有多大的创新或者得到满堂喝彩，但是他们为期刊的发展传播所做的卓越贡献是不容小觑的。

One example that recently came to myattention (and I'm sure there are many others out there, so please add them tothe comments field) is the Chinese Journal ofZhejiang University-Science (JZUS).It was one of the first Chinese-based journals to introduce truly internationalpeer reviewing systems (not something that is commonplace in many regions ofthe world). It was the first Chinese journal to use CrossCheck,and it makes extensive use of this to improve quality and avoidplagiarism.

最近有个期刊引起了我们的注意（我相信也有很多同类的期刊），即《浙江大学学报英文版（JZUS）》。它是第一个真正实现国际同行评议的中国期刊（虽然此举在发达国家不足为奇）；它也是第一个使用CrossCheck的中国期刊，并为提高期刊质量、避免剽窃做出了不懈的努力。

JZUS uses automated alerts to reach out to authors afterpublication if their articles are in the top 10 downloaded papers. It publishesarticles in-press to avoid publishing delays, and identifies the ‘hot topic’ ormost downloaded articles to help readers identify trends and the best articlespublished. It allows post-publication comments, and has added Power Pointsummaries of each article to help readers use its content in their ownpresentations (and ensure correct citation!).

更要一说的是该刊对下载使用与引用量位居前十的文章，会自动发送电子祝贺邮件通知作者。同时该刊还开辟了文章预先出版栏目（Articles in-press），缩短发表时滞；开辟热点文章专区。另一可看之处是开放同行评议，实现文后跟踪。近年又为刊发的文章加载PPT导读，利在服务同行读者迅速把握文章脉络，领悟学术内涵。

Rather than aim for anonymous ‘international’ status, itis conscious of its roots, and celebrates the cultural heritage of China.Chinese cultural tokens are used to reward its reviewers, wherever in the worldthey are, in addition to the recent addition of Chinese language abstracts toincrease usability to Chinese researchers.

特别要提的是该刊在默默耕耘的“国际化”运作中，心系中华之魂，用源远流长五千年华夏文明来致敬国际审稿人；向世界传播一种国家文化。同时，为每篇文章加载中文概要的新举措不仅加速中国英文学术期刊在世界的影响力，而且惠利于海内外中华学识之士，彰显中国话语。

So what makes this a good journal? Partly, I believe,because it is focusing its activities on authors and readers. While it may notbe developing truly innovative services, it is thinking about what they needand developing new ways of providing them.

如是，何谓好期刊？一方面，我相信，这个期刊如此关注它的作者群和读者群。也许它不是真正意义上的技术服务创新，但是这个期刊所用至上服务的理念让它的作者和读者心动。

There is nothing wrong with large European and USpublishers looking for the ‘new’ and the ‘innovative’. We need experimentationto push us forward. But at the same time, we need to remember and celebratejournals that are striving to provide services to authors and readers that theywant and need. This is particularly important for those publishing outside thelarge publishing hubs in the UK and the USA, and within organisations andcultures that don’t have access to the resources of large companies (who alsoform part of ALPSP’s membership).

欧洲和美国的出版商一直在寻找“新”和“变”毋庸置疑是大方向，因为这个时代的确需要大胆尝试来推动行业向前。但同时，我们需要谨记和祝贺那些致力于为作者和读者所想，最大限度地提供服务的期刊，也是这个时代重要的角色. 特别是对于那些归属于英国和美国的大型出版集团的，以及那些无法和大公司共享资源的期刊（他们也是ALPSP的会员）。

So let’s take a moment to hail a world (and those journals)where the development of high quality, useful, publication tools (aka journals)is taking place. All kudos to the ‘very good’ journal! And to the others thatare also providing researchers with easier, more sophisticated, and morereliable access to information.

此刻，让我们向这个领域（以及那些期刊）致敬吧，因为高品质的、有用的出版工具（或期刊）无时无刻不在向前迈进。将所有的赞美送给“棒”期刊吧！同时也送给那些为研究人员提供诚信有学术价值的期刊吧。
