Publication Delay in Iranian Scholarly Journals

Scholarly periodicals in Iran are considered main information resources in the development of knowledge in scholarly areas. About 566 periodicals have publication licenses from the Commission of Scholarly Periodicals Evaluation of Ministry of Science, Research & Technology (MSRT), with sixty-eight published in English. This paper studies the publication delay of twenty-six Iranian scholarly periodicals which are published in Persian in Iran, not those Iranian journals which are published in English in Iran or out of the country. The peer review and scholarly publication processes in Iranian journals are quite lengthy and need improvement. There was no significant relationship between publication delay in Persian scholarly periodicals and their impact factor as presented by the Islamic World Science Citation Center (titled ISC). Finally, the authors offer some solutions for improving the publication system of Iranian scholarly journals and decreasing the publication interval of these journals.

传教士创办中文报刊的最初目的是宣传基督教,中国第一个近代报刊《察世俗每月统记传》 即为典型的宗教报刊。19世纪30年代《东西洋考每月统记传》创刊后偏离了这一宗旨,开始把重点从传 教转至宣传西学,实现了从传播宗教到传播西学的转变。19世纪六七十年代以后出现了非宗教性报刊与 宗教性报刊并存的局面,进人20世纪后又回到了宣传基督教的原点。传教士中文报刊经历了一个从传 播宗教到传播西学最后又回到传播宗教的演变过程。     

中国少数民族图书出版的问题及对策

改革开放以来,中国少数民族图书出版业得到了较大发展,图书出版规模和质量都有显著提高。但各民族间的出版状况非常不均衡,个别少数民族语言文字的出版已经濒临绝境,民族题材专业编辑和创意人员较少,民族出版机构的分布和业务范围存在局限,民族图书的深度和广度徘徊不前,这些都是亟待克服的宏观问题。从具体情况来看,也存在诸如少数民族图书读者流失严重、出版资金匮乏、受众市场狭小、数字出版跟进缓慢等突出问题。研究认为,针对少数民族的出版应该特事特办,不仅要在资金上给予继续扶持,还要在人才培养上给予重点关照,在民族院校加强出版专业教学和科研,鼓励开展出版合作交流活动等。

编辑创新：出版传播的核心竞争力

编辑活动本质上是编者协同作者与读者,约定新规范,创造新媒体,架构新媒介,传播新文化,不断创新的人文事业。编辑是通过创生媒介实现其编辑价值的,主要是通过创新架构各种媒体来传播其编辑思想的。编辑创新的重点或要义,是能产生最大交互性的,多向快速、传播久远的媒介结构整体,而不是单纯的文化内容的解释或载体的复制技术或媒介产品的经营管理。"六经"的编辑创新,成就了中国学术文化史上第一个完整的人文学说体系。孔子创构的这个学说体系,主要是通过他编辑的"六经"构建起来的完整而稳定的媒体结构。朱熹主要是通过编辑"四书"和《近思录》,重建新的宋儒学术文化结构。各种媒体的编辑,根据不同的内容,按照读者的需要,编创出各种新的媒介。     

王统照与中国新文学出版传播活动

王统照是一位"诚笃,严谨"①、"朴实,诚挚"②的作家和学者,也是一位"一丝不苟地担起全部责任"③的编辑.以新文学的"美、善、知",去"感化"、"薰浸"读者的心灵,让"真的文学的根"由"人之心内茁生",是王统照自觉的文学使命,也是他自觉的编辑使命.在中国现代文学出版传播史上,王统照是一位有着真诚风格、"真"的心性及其哲学理性的编辑大家.其魅力缘于他的赤子般"纯念"和孺子般"真诚".他倡导"不阿私"、"不回避"、 "不唱高调"、"不容‘市侩主义'"、"不‘骑墙圆滑'"的编辑批评态度,反对言过其实的标榜和心怀歹意的攻讦;主张编辑鉴别"只以作品的价值为准","视其艺术的如何为准,绝不有所偏重";编辑方法"不必一律从同,像每一个作家一样,各有其姿态与风格".探索<编后记>作家作品评介及专栏介绍和世界文学译介的编辑特性与侧重;认为,编辑是作品与读者的推介者、整合者、批评者、鉴别者、倡导者和刊布者.王统照在上世纪二三十年代与文坛各路名家一起共同把文学出版物编辑水准推向一个高峰,其编辑范式被借鉴袭用至今.

Are Private Interests Clouding the Peer-Review Process of the WHO Bulletin? A Case Study

Readers’ trust on the medical literature has been eroded, and journal editors and some editorial boards are taking measures to ensure that authors fully and accurately report research findings and disclose conflicts of interest. This article describes a case study in which the papers editor of the World Health Organization (WHO) Bulletin influenced the content of an article that had been approved by the external reviewers. The editor objected to the publication of the large price differentials of the new molecular entities (NMEs) across the Latin American countries where they had been tested and the limited added therapeutic value of the NMEs that had been assessed by independent drug bulletins. This article summarizes the exchanges with WHO staff and posits the hypothesis that the WHO Bulletin might be affected by the shifts in WHO financing. Several authors have raised concern about the impact of financial conflicts of interest in WHO activities in the field of nutrition, intellectual property, and in the emergency response to the flu pandemic. Moreover, it has been reported that powerful WHO contributors pressured WHO into revising its publication policy. This is the first time that authors question if these conflicts of interest are also affecting the editorial independence of the WHO Bulletin.
