浙江大学学报获国际卓越奖学术出版商奖项提名
3月14日，从伦敦国际书展传来消息，浙江大学学报（Journal of Zhejiang University-Science，JZUS）与澳大利亚联邦科学与工业研究出版社（CSIRO Publishing）获国际出版卓越奖“学术与专业出版奖”类别提名。这是自2014年该奖项设立以来首家入围的学术期刊，也是国际学术出版业界对中国学术期刊的认可。
英国伦敦图书博览会于2014年设立“国际出版卓越奖”，意在褒奖整个出版产业链上成就非凡的从业者，也是英国对国际出版市场上杰出企业与个人，及各种创新项目的认可。
中国大学学报有大约有1000家之多，浙江大学学报为何能够脱颖而出，在国际化方面取得斐然成绩？参加此次伦敦国际书展的中国出版商务周报的报道，也许能带给我们一些思考和借鉴。
The winners of The London Book Fair International Excellence Awards were announced at a prestigious awards ceremony held on Tuesday 14 March 2017 at Olympia, UK. In its 16 Awards Categories, The Academic and Professional Publisher Award’s winner is OECD Publishing（France）; the shortlisted publishers include CSIRO Publishing（Australia） and Journal of Zhejiang University-Science（JZUS）（China）.
As Zhang Yuehong（Helen）, Chief Editor of JZUS introduced, there are roughly 5,000 STM periodicals in China, including more than 300 published in English. Around 1,000 are 'campus' journals that mostly publish papers from Chinese universities. Zhang has had a dream that to run an international scientific journal that meets international standards. So in 2008, JZUS started using CrossCheck. Zhang says, it is inaccurate to describe JZUS as a 'campus' journal. In fact, it is an international publication with a pool of some 26,000 referees from more than 67 countries. On average, 64.4% of its contributions come from outside Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China, of which 50% are from more than 46 countries and regions. The editorial board is international too.
JZUS publishes articles in-press to avoid publishing delays, and identifies the 'hot topic' or most downloaded articles to help readers identify trends and the best articles published. It allows post-publication comments, and has added Power Point summaries of each article to help readers use its content in their own presentations and ensure correct citation.
Since 2014, JZUS has collected and deposited CrossMark, ORCID（a persistent digital identifier for a researcher）, and FundRef（funder information） metadata for every paper, and displays them both in the web and PDF version. JZUS recognizes that text and data mining（TDM） is increasingly seen as a useful method for analyzing large volumes of unstructured documents, which can meet the needs of researchers and support the innovation and development of new knowledge. Because of its participation in Crossref Text and Data Mining Services, researchers are able to text mine subscription content since 2015 accessed via Crossref and Springer's Metadata API, provided the purpose is noncommercial research.
In 2015, aiming at persisting in anti-plagiarism and its high international peer review standards, Zhang Yuehong, worked with her two colleagues, posted a 2015 JZUS-policy online. The Policy, based on the ethical code and flow charts of the Committee on Publication Ethics（COPE） and their experience at Journals of Zhejiang University-SCIENCE A/B & FITEE, includes three sections: Forms of Plagiarism, Anti-Plagiarism Policy, and CrossCheck Workflow. This policy is available free at the official website of JZUS, noting that JZUS will strictly follow its anti-plagiarism policy, while CrossCheck will be used to check authors' submitted papers in order to identify unduly high levels of similar text, which gives rise to the possibility of plagiarism.
In 2016, Springer and Zhejiang University Press published two new books about JZUS respectively, one is Against plagiarism: a guide for editors and authors, which published by Springer, and supported by COPE（Committee on Publication Ethics）, the other one is Chinese Cultural Kaleidoscope, which published in Zhejiang University Press. Both books mark the academic achievements of JZUS in these years.
In the report of The Association of Learning and Professional Society Publishers, it commended that a good journal is the one focusing its activities on authors and readers. While it may not be developing truly innovative services, it is thinking about what they need and developing new ways of providing them.
Being nominated and shortlisted for LBF International Excellence Awards 2017 is a new progress of JZUS, Zhang Yuehong shows her gratitudes, saying “We are very appreciated international nominators who recognize JZUS in academic publishing area!”
