Abstract

According to the position and content of Journal of Yangtze River Scientific Research Institute (hereafter referred to as the Journal),we recognized its status among Chinese scientific journals and hydraulic journals by analysing the main indicators of its impact factor in CNKI database.Moreover,we analysed several parameters which affect the impact factor, including control for the amount of published papers,the sources of excellent papers,the publishing of reviews,hotspots and academic frontiers,as well as time difference of receiving and publishing.We also proposed that the evaluation system of impact factor is objective and scientific,but sometimes partial and sightless.Furthermore,the mission of academic journal is to serve for academic research,which means that academic content is the essence of journals,no matter traditional papery journals or digital journals in network times.Without outstanding papers, journals will be like water without a source,and tree without roots,much less academic impact.Finally,we emphasized it is blind to worship impact factors,for each academic journal should have its individual academic characteristics.As for the Journal,the essential content and academic style of it is to highlight the exploitation,regulation,protection and management of the Yangtze River.In the future,on the premise of improving papers quality,we should gradually develop a unique academic feature by specializing in the Yangtze River.
