CASISD, Elsevier and CNKI Jointly Released Think Tank Journals (Version 1.0)
Think tank research now features integration and fusion of multiple disciplines and fields with the number of academic papers published in journals increasing exponentially. To accurately find relevant journals and to effectively identify the cutting-edge issues of think tank research are important problems faced by the whole think tank community.
To this end, Institutes of Science and Development of Chinese Academy of Sciences (CASISD), Elsevier Ltd. and the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) jointly released the Think Tank Journals Group (Version 1.0) in Beijing on September 28th, to promote the scientific development of think tank research and to form a community. Nearly 200 people from national high-caliber think tank pilot organizations, universities, research institutions and think tank journals attended.
In the selection process, firstly, the keyword sets in the fields of think tank research were generated by using Double Helix Methodology and matched with journal databases. After the quantitative similarity calculations and qualitative discussions by experts, a number of English and Chinese journals are selected for inclusion in the Think Tank Journals Group (Version 1.0) based on the principles of voluntary membership and double-blind verification. The selected journals can be considered as representative journals of think tank research.
CASISD has been committed to promoting the scientization and specialization of think tank research, supporting decision making with high-level academic research, and actively exploring the theoretical and methodological paradigm of think tank research. The publishing of the Think Tank Journals is significant for the "root seeking” of think-tank research, which traces the academic roots of think-tank research. It promoted the scientific development of think tank research as a discipline, providing academic-oriented researchers with opportunity, orientation and carrier for their scientific research.
