With the development of science and technology, various academic journals came into being, which greatly enriched the knowledge and information resources of various disciplines and provided a broad platform for professional and technical personnel to publish papers. But there is no doubt that among thousands of periodicals, some are insincere, and some cheat under the guise of "national periodicals" and "core periodicals". The author of the paper accidentally fell into the trap set by them, causing no small loss.
So how to identify the legitimacy of journals? Here are some simple methods.
First, check the authenticity of the network.
Log in to official website of the General Administration of Press and Publication of the People's Republic of China, and there is a news agency inquiry column at the lower right of the home page. Enter a media name and select a periodical. Just click search. If it is a regular periodical, it can display its relevant information, otherwise it will display "Search No Results". You can also check it in official website, the provincial press and publication bureau where the periodical publishing unit is located.
Second, check the authenticity by phone.
Call the provincial press and publication bureau where the periodical publishing unit is located to check its authenticity. Telephone can be inquired online, or 1 14 can be added after the area code.
Third, the serial number is true and false.
See if there is a unified domestic serial number (CN serial number) and international standard serial number (ISSN serial number), both of which are regular periodicals.
The format of domestic standard serial number is CNxx-yyyy/z, "CN" is the country code of China, "xx-yyyy" is the newspaper registration number, and "z" is the classification number. "xx" is the code of the region where the periodical publishing unit is located, "yyyy" is the serial number assigned by the publishing management department (the sequence range of periodicals is "1000-4999"), and the classification number is used to explain the second main subject category of periodicals. For example, health vocational education, the domestic standard serial number: CN62- 1 167/r. 62 is the publishing area code of Gansu Province, 1 167 is the periodical number, and R stands for medical and health.
The format of international standard serial number is ISSN.
XXXX(4 digits) -XXXX(4 digits or 3 digits, the last digit is X) Example: ISSN1673-9795; ISSN 1674-098X .
Those that do not meet the above format are illegal periodicals. For example: CNxx-yyyy(HK) or CN(HK)xx-yyyy, etc.
Fourthly, the titles of periodicals are true or false.
The main magazine has only one title, and some magazines are driven by interests, using "one number for multiple purposes" (that is, one CN number produces multiple publications) to deceive the authors. The teaching and research edition, academic edition or theoretical edition of XX magazine or XX-XX magazine or XX, etc. A version or title of this magazine with dashes or dots is illegal.
