details as follows:
1) This release time is adjusted to January 2023
2) The year of this release is 2023
3) The released version remains unchanged, and there is no list for the 2022 version
Another point worthy of attention is that it was released in the third year, why is it still the "International Journal Early Warning List (Trial) "?
Frequently Asked Questions about the "International Journal Early Warning List":
01 Does the "Warning List" have an official website?
02 Is the "Warning List" updated regularly?
It is tentatively scheduled to be released at the end of each year. The journal partition table team will track the difficult problems of the scientific research management department in a timely manner, and dynamically adjust the evaluation dimensions of the "Warning List".
03 How is the early warning level of journals divided? Will the journals you select for now become early-warning journals in the future?
Early warning periodicals are divided into three levels: high, medium and low. Each level focuses on different issues, and the risks of early warning are weakened in turn:
High-risk warning : aims to curb academic misconduct: batch papers involve the risk of "paper factory";
Performance: There are a batch of papers in the journal involving the "paper factory" incident (high retraction rate).
Medium risk early warning : aiming to promote the international dissemination of China's academic achievements and optimize the use of China's scientific research funds: the internationalization of journal authors and readers is low, and the paper processing fee is unreasonable;
Symptoms: Low internationalization of the journal's author/reader base and unreasonable (too high) article processing fees.
Low-risk early warning : It aims to remind researchers that there is a risk of a sudden decline in academic influence of journals, and the number of publications in large-scale journals has surged.
Performance: The journal publishes a large volume of articles with a short cycle.
The above three dimensions of the Document Information Center of the Chinese Academy of Sciences are mainly a comprehensive evaluation of " the number of articles in the journal , the degree of internationalization of the author , the rejection rate , the paper processing fee (APC) , the journal excellence index , the self-citation rate , and the retraction information, etc." .
04 The possibility of becoming an early warning journal can also refer to the following points:
Self-citation rate: Journal self-citation rate is an important reference standard. Generally speaking, journals with more than 20% need special attention.
Publishers: Some publishers have many journals on the early warning list, and you need to understand the situation of the journals when you submit your manuscript.
SPANDIDOS PUBL LTD has 6 journals, 5 of which have entered the early warning list of journals in 2020. There are 4 SCI journals under E-CENTURY PUBL CORP, all of which have entered the 2020 journal early warning list. MDPI has 22 and 7 journals entered into the early warning list of journals in 2020 and 2021 respectively.
Peer evaluation: Even if a journal is not yet an early warning journal, if it has caused dissatisfaction and criticism from many scholars in the industry, special attention should be paid.
05 How to treat early warning periodicals?
Journal early warning is not an evaluation of papers, nor is it a negation of every achievement published in early warning journals. The "International Journal Early Warning List" aims to remind researchers to carefully select the platform for publication of results, and remind publishers to strengthen journal quality management.
The list of early warning journals in 2021 is as follows:
The list of early warning journals in 2020 is as follows:
