西方国家学术期刊在经济上真正自负盈亏、走市场化之路的,无论种类与绝对数量均不是多数;学术期刊在属性上属于非商品;绝大多数学术期刊出版单位规模保持在二三种。西方学术期刊的属性及其经济机制对于中国同行具有重要的启示作用:克服学术出版物商品论的错误思维定势,纠正学术出版模式求大求全的认识。 Academic journals in the West really take sole responsibility for their own profits and losses in the economy, take the road of marketization, regardless of the type and absolute number are not the majority; academic journals belong to the non-commodity properties; the vast majority of academic journals published in the size of two or three. The properties of Western academic journals and their economic mechanisms have an important enlightenment for their Chinese counterparts: to overcome the erroneous thinking of academic publications on commodities, and to correct their knowledge of the great demand of academic publishing.
