报告提要:
通过罗兰·W·路易斯教授长期任著名国际期刊的主编经历,介绍创办国际期刊需要注意的问题,具体涉及以下几方面:
1. Positioningof a journal
Who is the journal’s target audience?
What is the proposed title?
What other titles are there in this area?
How would the new launch differ to its competitors interms of offering?
Does the Aims and Scope cover emerging hot topics ortrends?
What do funding trends look like in this area?
2. Humanelement in a journal
Structure of the editorial team, e.g. Editor-in-Chief,Associate/Regional Editors, Editorial Assistants, etc.;define roles andresponsibilities; international reputationsin the field; experience of runningjournals;
