Class B journals mainly select the journals with the top 50% impact factors according to the SCI journals included in ISIwebofscience. The liberal arts and management disciplines are determined according to the principle of not exceeding half of the total number of authoritative journals listed by the school in 2002, with the highest 1 for every two disciplines. Journals listed by SSCI and AHCI in ISIwebofscience are also regarded as Class B journals.

Class B periodicals that are not included in CSSCI are not included in "Class B important periodicals". Papers (full text) collected by ISSHP, papers collected by Xinhua Digest and China Social Science Digest (more than 3,000 words), papers published in Guangming Daily (theoretical edition) and People's Daily (theoretical edition) (more than 3,000 words) are equivalent to papers published in "Class B important journals".

Extended data:

The so-called ABC journals (called 123 in some places) are not unified. This classification means that each unit selects its own core journals from international core journals, domestic core journals and some non-core journals and newspapers, combined with the literature of this province, according to the direction of key disciplines studied by the unit (for example, the key disciplines of liberal arts schools are different).

There are recognized core publications, such as EI, cscd and cssci. , and some are not included in any core database. For example, People's Daily, Guangming Daily and Economic Daily are listed as their own core catalogues in many places.

There are great differences among A, B, A, B and C periodicals. Take literature as an example. If a literature professor in a university wants to obtain doctoral qualification next year, it is relatively difficult to publish more than one article in the core of A in the past few years. Generally, there are 10 kinds of such core journals in China. For example, literary criticism, literary inheritance, literary contention and so on.

Class B is relatively low-grade, and almost every province has such publications, such as Nanjing Social Sciences, Hunan Social Sciences and Gansu Social Sciences. Generally, doctoral graduates are required to publish more than two B-type papers before they are qualified to reply. If you evaluate associate professors and professors every year, you should publish at least 2-4 core B papers.
