Internationalization of Chinese STM Journal publishing

摘要

Over the past two decades, China has witnessed a market-oriented reform that created real market players and removed institutional hurdles for its scientific, technological and medical (STM) journals' international development; it has kept enhancing the journals' editorial forces, which not only upgraded editorial staff's international communication skills but also facilitated the journals' international collaboration with their foreign counterparts; it has also adjusted the journals' publishing workflows and established a quality-control mechanism centered around peer reviews; and it has tried to internationalize both the journal publishers' productions and services. Under the above-mentioned endeavors, Chinese STM journal publishing has achieved its initial internationalization progress.
