The issue of "being dependent on external factors at both ends" has become a bottleneck restricting the high-quality development of China's scientific and technological journals. It is the unshirkable mission and responsibility of scientific and technological journals to participate in solving this issue, which is determined by their political attributes, cultural attributes, job contents, and the need for ecological and healthy development. Scientific and technological journals possess unique institutional advantages, a favorable external environment, as well as the objective conditions and good traditions to address this issue, making them capable of participating in resolving the "being dependent on external factors at both ends" problem. In doing so, scientific and technological journals should shoulder the responsibilities of political leadership, cultural leadership, serving national and societal needs, providing high-quality services, "building ships to sail abroad" for enhancing international influence and establishing a scientific evaluation system with Chinese characteristics. |
