1. Classify journals according to disciplines.
Represented by China Library Classification and Periodical Classification Table, periodicals are divided into five basic categories:
(1) Comprehensive publications on Marxism-Leninism and Mao Zedong Thought (2) Philosophy (3) Social Sciences (4) Natural Sciences (5). In the basic category, it is divided into several categories. For example, social science is divided into general social science, politics, military affairs, economy, culture, science, education, sports, language, writing, literature, art, history and geography.
2. Classify journals according to their content characteristics and readers' levels.
Taking the news and publication volume of Encyclopedia of China as the representative, the periodicals are divided into four categories: (1) general periodicals, which emphasize knowledge and interest and have a wide readership, such as People's Pictorial and Popular Movies in China, Time and Reader's Digest in the United States, etc. (2) Academic journals, mainly publishing academic papers, research reports, reviews and other articles, mainly for professional workers; (3) Industry periodicals, which mainly report the products, market conditions, management progress and trends of all walks of life, such as motorcycle information in China, Japanese furniture, office equipment and products. (4) Search periodicals, such as national newspaper index, national new bibliography, American chemical abstracts, etc.
3. According to the academic status of journals.
It can be divided into core journals and non-core journals.
About core journals: core journals refer to authoritative journals that can best reflect the academic level of a certain discipline (or several fields), with a large amount of information and high utilization rate, and are widely valued.
The determination of core periodicals in China mainly adopts bibliometrics and expert consultation.
Peking University Publishing House 1992 published the Outline of Chinese Core Journals, and 1996 published the second edition. The second edition selects 1578 core periodicals from nearly 10,000 Chinese periodicals being published, and makes a brief introduction. On the basis of the second edition, the third edition was launched in 2000. Overview is an important reference book for us to understand the national core periodicals. The call numbers of books in my collection are: Z87/Z65=2, Z87/Z65=3. The collection places are: comprehensive lending office and Chinese and foreign language editorial department.
Understanding the core journals is of great significance. As far as editors are concerned, they can learn from core journals. As far as readers are concerned, establishing the consciousness of core periodicals can clarify the value orientation and improve their reading level. For example, students majoring in language and literature should first read core journals such as China Language and Literature Review, instead of putting the cart before the horse. As far as libraries are concerned, core periodicals are of course the first choice for subscription under the limited funds. As far as the scientific research management department is concerned, it can make statistical analysis of the papers published by units or individuals in core journals as an important indicator to measure their academic level. Therefore, people often aim at publishing articles in core journals.
