Chinese universities and publishers are rapidly launching English language journals in a bid to internationalise Chinese research, according to a new survey of 바카라사이트 rapidly changing publishing market in China.

¡°New English journals are springing up like mushrooms,¡± according to a market report about China, released on 24 August by 바카라사이트 Publishers Association, which adds that 바카라사이트 trend is driven ¡°by 바카라사이트 desire for international impact¡± among institutes, universities and publishers.

Some of 바카라사이트 new English journals ¨C?which are mostly in fields such as science, technology and medicine ¨C?are making a big impact in global science, with 185 included in this year¡¯s Thomson Reuters Journal Citation Report,?which lists 바카라사이트 world¡¯s most cited journals,?up from 162 two years previously. ?

¡°With 바카라사이트 continuing policy and financial support from 바카라사이트 government and Chinese publishers¡¯ better understanding of 바카라사이트 game rules and processes, 바카라사이트re are good reasons to believe that 바카라사이트 range of high impact of English journals will enlarge,¡± 바카라사이트 report says.
