I see Chinese Physics B, Chinese Physics C and Chinese Physics Letters on the MJL.Pythagorean said:oh, I see. I've been relying on the Thomson Reuters Master Journal List. What's the difference?
There are a few possible reasons for Chinese Physics not being included in the ISI (Institute for Scientific Information) database. One possibility is that the journal may not meet the strict criteria for inclusion, such as having a rigorous peer-review process and being published regularly. Another reason could be the language barrier, as the ISI primarily focuses on English-language journals. Additionally, some Chinese journals may not have the resources or desire to apply for inclusion in the ISI database.
Yes, Chinese Physics is considered a reputable journal within the scientific community. It is published by the Chinese Physical Society and has been in publication since 1981. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, and perspectives in all areas of physics and has a high impact factor. However, as mentioned before, it may not meet the specific criteria for inclusion in the ISI database.
Yes, Chinese Physics articles can be found in other databases such as SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and the Chinese Science Citation Database. These databases may have different criteria for inclusion and therefore may include Chinese Physics articles that are not found in the ISI database.
Yes, there are alternative ways to access Chinese Physics articles. Many universities and research institutions have subscriptions to Chinese Physics and other Chinese journals through their library databases. Additionally, some articles may be available for free on the journal's website or through open-access platforms.
There is no way to predict if or when Chinese Physics will be included in the ISI database. It ultimately depends on the journal's editorial policies and resources, as well as the ISI's criteria for inclusion. However, with the growing global interest in Chinese research and publications, it is possible that Chinese Physics may be included in the future.
