Research on Profit Behavior of Some Domestic Academic Journals—Following the Tracks of more than 10 Kinds of Journals for Nearly 20 Years

Li Zhou
Abstract
The undercover tracking research results of more than 10 magazines in the past 20 years show that the domestic academic journal market lacks scientific planning and layout, some academic journals have become the main carriers of professional title papers, the layout cost has become the main source of survival of journals, and the extraordinary layout expansion has become a general profit behavior. Based on this, academic journals and quality control need to change from self responsibility to double responsibility, from volume based payment to quality-based incentives; from all-inclusive articles to specialized research; page ceiling for each publication during registration or annual review, and a financial support system to maintain the magazine.
