Alternative solutions for Russian authors publishing in English-language scientific and engineering journals of China
https://doi.org/10.24069/SEP-22-36
Abstract
The article presents results of the analysis of Chinese scientific and engineering journals currently included in the leading international citation scientometric databases Scopus and Web of Science focusing at an alternative possibility of publishing articles by Russian authors in Chinese English-language journals. The sufficiently large quantity and high quality of these journals are shown, along with the diversity of their subject categories, and the top ten journals are highlighted. Taking these top ten journals as an example, the terms for publishing are considered, which depend on the use of various publication models (full or hybrid open access), together with different solutions for authors to overcome the problem of high fees for article processing charge in the case when this condition exists. The conclusion is drawn that Russian authors have noteworthy options to publish their articles in the Chinese English-language journals in present-day conditions.
