摘要
With the development of informatization and globalization, SCI/SSCI papers have increasingly been the evaluation criteria for Chinese universities and other research institutes to measure their basic research strength. Moreover, with the emergence of the phenomenon that just focus on SCI/SSCI papers, the academic value assessment and accreditation of papers in Chinese core journals has been reduced accordingly. In a certain extent, this causes a shock to the development of Chinese core journals. Based on the exploratory factor analysis, the paper constructs the structural equation model of the recognition of academic value of papers in Chinese core journals. By taking the geographer as an example, through the confirmatory factor analysis, the paper studies on the influence factors of the recognition of academic value of papers in Chinese core journals. The results showed: (1) Influence of academic achievement is the key factor of recognition of academic value of papers in Chinese core journals, as well as policy of research evaluation and academic status and academic influence evaluation are important ones; (2) Influence of academic achievement has the greatest influence on recognition with the path coefficient of 0.52, followed by academic influence evaluation with the path coefficient of 0.25. Policy of research evaluation and academic status has relatively less influence; (3) Influence of academic achievement and academic influence evaluation show positive correlations with recognition, while policy of research evaluation and academic status shows a negative one. At last, the paper puts forward some countermeasures to enhance geographers' recognition of academic value of papers in Chinese core journals, in order to promote researchers' willingness to publish high quality Chinese papers and boost the development of Chinese core journals. © 2016, Science Press.
