Publishing in scientific journals is the most common and powerful means to disseminate new research findings. Visibility and credibility in the scientific world require publishing in journals that are included in global indexing databases such as those of the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). Most scientists in developing countries remain at the periphery of this critical communication process, exacerbating the low international recognition and impact of their accomplishments. For science to become maximally influential and productive across the globe, this needs to change.
The economy of electronic publication, open access, and property rights fuel current academic and policy debates about scientific publishing in the industrialized world. The concerns in the developing world (with few ISI-indexed journals) focus on more fundamental questions, such as sustaining local research activity and achieving the appropriate global reach of its science activities.
The essence of the African situation is captured by R. J. W. Tijssen’s analysis of publications by African authors, which was based not only on data from ISI indexing databases, but also on publications not indexed in this system. Surprisingly, half of the South African citations in the indexed ISI literature are to articles in nonindexed, locally published journals. Also, several nonindexed local journals are cited in the ISI system at about the same rate as are indexed journals. The share of indexed articles with at least one author with an Africa address remains steady at about 1%. About half of the ISI-indexed papers with at least one author with an African address have non-African partners outside of the continent. These figures vary, country by country, sometimes in surprising ways. For example, 85% of the papers published from Mali or Gabon involve collaborations on other continents, versus 39% and 29%, respectively, for South Africa and Egypt, the continent’s leading research producers. Thus, much of the African research system is now highly dependent on collaborations.
How can the global reach and potential impact of scientific research in Africa and other developing countries be optimized? Of primary importance is boosting the quality and quantity of work that is locally published, through measures including review of submissions by peers research opportunities. A proliferation of journals, short-lived publications, print-only journals, and poor distribution constitutes a picture that must change. A nationally organized project can probably make the biggest difference, with investment by government and research-support agencies, as well as wide participation by local and regional scientific communities.
The survey conducted by Tijssen justified the author’s view that______.
选项
A、to publish is to disseminate new research findings across the globe
B、new research findings ought to be published in the globally indexed journals
C、such importance should be attached to global collaborations in doing science
D、most scientists in developing countries remain marginalized in global science publishing
答案
D
解析
例证题。通过人名定位到第三段。由该段的最后一句可知,Tijssen的研究认为,非洲科学研究体系高度依赖国际合作,即要想在国际索引数据库里的期刊上发表文章,一般要跟其他国家的作者合作才可以。由此可推理得知,很多发展中国家的作者都是被边缘化的。因此正确答案为D。
