Abstract
To enhance the influence of fishery scientific journal, measures to enhance the influence of aquatic science and technology journals, we analyzed multiple aspects including the basic situation, submission and review process, editorial and publishing methods, editorial capabilities, and influence of the journals through literature analysis, field research, and questionnaire surveys. The results showed that only about half of the aquatic science and technology journals are included in important databases, and their influence indicators are lower than those of other agricultural science and technology journals. 80.0% of the annual manuscripts received are less than 500; journals with a manuscript acceptance rate of less than 50.0% account for 52.0%; there are few high-level papers, and only 16.0% of the survey respondents are satisfied with the quality of the source of the manuscripts; the publishing cycle is mainly bimonthly, accounting for 80.0%; over 90.0% of journals have an editorial system; 57.1% of the survey respondents believe that the editorial board plays little or no role in improving the quality of the journal. By analyzing the research data, the paper proposes that the current publishing cycle of aquatic science and technology journals is long; the technical means of dissemination and publication are diversified; lack of high-quality manuscripts; The problems of not fully utilizing the resource advantages of the editorial board and affecting the level of publishing and restricting future development are addressed. Measures such as shaping the influence of the journal through its academic orientation, establishing and improving the professional publishing model, guiding the establishment of a clustered development of journals, and guiding the formulation of a reasonable evaluation system are taken to enhance the influence of aquatic science and technology journals.
