Necessity of establishing an editorial research program based on the editorial staff of university journals
Ren Zhi-ping · 2006
Based on the status quo of university journals such as attaching importance to editing affairs while neglecting the research about editorial theories,and advocating the research about editing theories while lacking initiative,this paper demonstrates the necessity of establishing editorial research program based on the editorial staff of university journals.The authors suggest that a university should accelerate the establishment of editorial research program so as to strengthen the responsibility sense of editors,improve the abilities of editors and the qualities of university journals,stimulate editing staff to equip themselves with editing theories and work hard for becoming editing scholars,make the editorial office not only become the output place of promulgating the fruits of science and culture but also the research base of editing theories and ultimately to realize the editors' nice wish and spirit scope,build a palace thought,a cultural scenery and a spiritual monument for the editor community.Establishing an editorial research program based on the editorial office of a university journal is in favour of transferring from passive research to initiative research,of transferring from dispersed personal and stochastic research to centralized team and objective research,of transferring from unnecessary research to compulsory research and is helpful in academic communication and talented person's cultivation.This paper also gives a policy suggestion that higher academies build and extend such responsibility mechanism as one staff with two functions relying on constructing editing studies labs in newsrooms.
