Professor Hu Yuhong, editor-in-chief of "Law" and East China University of Political Science and Law, first congratulated "Economic and w88 Law Review" on its achievements in the five years since its establishment, and shared his views on the character of legal papers from four aspects: First, legal papers first emphasize academic nature and should follow the general standards of scientific research, namely arguments, evidence, Meaning, etc. structure the paper; secondly, the character of the paper is reflected in its innovation, which is the value pursuit of research and the vitality of research; thirdly, academic writing needs to be normative, not only with a clear theme and clear ideas, but also with accurate citations and complete content; fourthly, the paper must be credible and build arguments based on theory, facts and logic.
Feng Jue, deputy editor-in-chief of "Legal Studies" and researcher at the Institute of Law of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, shared his views on the establishment of a "special journal" and believed that "Economic and w88 Law Review" has its own advantages in terms of manuscript sources. The resources of the w88 casino w88 casino of Law's dominant disciplines and dominant position in the field of international economics are conducive to academic development and the growth of the author group. From the perspective of effectiveness or the balance between theory and practice, journal construction should highlight its own characteristics, focus on topic selection, and respond to practical needs.
Professor Gao Shengping, editor-in-chief of "The Jurist" and the Law w88 casino of Renmin University of China, introduced the development status of the publication "The Jurist" and explained several important directions in terms of the use of manuscripts: First, focus on the research of basic civil law theories and build China's independent civil law knowledge system; second, focus on major economic issues in civil adjudication; third, focus on the interpretation of civil policies.

Yao Jia, editorial director of Global Law Review and researcher at the Institute of Law, Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, shared his views on the development and evaluation of journals: First, the impact factor is the basis for journal evaluation, but in recent years the evaluation system has also been transforming into a characteristic direction. Second, the topics covered in the journal columns can be wider, but the irreplaceability of the journal must also be highlighted. Third, domestic journals should explore new ways to go global, while paying attention to form, content, and communication.
He Yan, editor-in-chief of "Legal and Business Studies", shared her views from the perspective of the editor. She believes that the quantitative indicators in the journal evaluation system are gradually weakening, and a new pattern of the journal evaluation system is taking shape, but the final pressure is to review journals based on literature. The development and evaluation of academic journals can be considered from the following aspects: First, as a responsible editor, you must find your position in journal evaluation and academic development; second, correct your mentality, dialectically and rationally Look at the relationship between journal evaluation and academic development; third, take the initiative to learn and study the paths, methods, functions, and development directions of various evaluation mechanisms; fourth, improve yourself and improve your editorial capabilities by learning and studying various evaluation carriers; fifth, students and editors work together.

Tu Kai, Editor-in-Chief Assistant of Tsinghua Law and Associate Professor of Tsinghua University w88 casino of Law, first expressed his congratulations to the Economic and w88 Law Review on its fifth anniversary, and believed that to properly handle the development and evaluation of legal academic journals, two pairs of relationships need to be properly handled: First, the relationship between comprehensive and specialized should be properly handled to avoid concerns being unintentionally affected and shaped. The second is how to handle the relationship between big and small. Big and small should not mean hot or cold, important or not, necessary or not at all. The coldness and hotness of a journal are mutually transformable.
"China Law Review" Deputy Editor Wan Ying shared several insights around the "mission and development of legal journals": First, legal journals should serve as a think tank and the basis of a general strategy to promote comprehensive rule of law in the new era; second, legal journals should explore and promote the academic development and innovation of law There are multiple ways to enhance the influence of journals and promote the prosperity of law; third, law journals should actively encourage the academic attitude of dedicated research and help create a clean and upright academic environment; fourth, give full play to the role of law journals as a platform for exchanges between Chinese and foreign legal studies, explore new paths, and enhance the international influence of Chinese legal theory.

Wang Qinglin, editor and reviewer of "Xinhua Digest", first raised the core thinking topic "What is the purpose of running a magazine and running a journal?" and gave his own thoughts from three aspects: extensive academic exchanges, serving legal scholars and adapting to the market.

Professor Xiao Xinxi, deputy editor-in-chief of "Legal Science" and the w88 casino of Economics and Law of Northwest University of Political Science and Law, believes that in scientific research, we must first balance the relationship between universal and special. The selection of articles in the journal must focus on the construction of an independent knowledge system with Chinese characteristics.

It is necessary to create a good editorial and review environment for innovation and adhere to the bottom line.

Director Tian believed that: first, paper evaluation is an integral part of academic evaluation, but papers with temporarily low citation rates may also have long-term contributions; second, paper evaluation forms and methods combine quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis; third, the evaluation subject can be anyone, but a professional evaluation subject should have objective standards and good service levels.
Liu Yuqiong, editor and reviewer of "Law Journal", first explained the reality that the homogenization trend of magazines is becoming more and more obvious, and then asked two questions: "What kind of mission should legal academic journals undertake? What kind of topics should legal academic journals publish?" and tried to answer two questions. : The quality of academic journals is related to the academic level of carrying articles, and is responsible for the important tasks of disseminating academic results, leading academic thoughts, promoting academic research, and prospering law, philosophy, and social sciences. Journal topic selection must have a high starting point, high frequency, detail the issues, and pay attention to the "big issues" of macro law.
"Journal of the Pacific" editor-in-chief Deng Wenke believes that international economic law experts play a direct role in promoting the development of international economic and w88 law.

Associate Professor Yang Ming, Editor-in-Chief of "Chinese and Foreign Law" and Associate Professor of Peking University Law w88 casino, believes that academic writing must be academically leading, pay attention to writing methods and logic, and avoid simply applying syllogisms while ignoring deep logical issues; manuscript reviewers must consider the characteristics of the overall publication, maintain relative consistency in the publication style, and discover manuscripts that can promote related research fields.
Associate researcher Yu Qian of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Evaluation held a discussion with Professor Bian Yongmin, Editor-in-Chief of Economic and w88 Law Review and Vice Dean of the Law w88 casino of the w88 casino. Associate Researcher Yu Qian focused on the journal evaluation system of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences Evaluation based on the speeches of the guests, and believed that evaluation work plays the role of a baton.
