Abstract

Purpose: This survey study aimed to investigate the current status, issues, and needs related to Clinical Endoscopy ( CE ), the official international journal of the Korean Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (KSGE). Methods: A 10-item survey was emailed to domestic KSGE members between May 1 and May 15, 2023. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Results: In total, 216 complete responses were analyzed. Most respondents (46.8%) read CE once or twice monthly. The proportion of respondents who read the journal once or twice a year or did not read it at all was quite high, at 36.6%. The most informative article type was review articles (53%), and the least-read type was editorials (33%). Ninety-nine respondents (45.8%) stated that they did not want to submit their articles to CE because CE is not a Science Citation Index Expanded (SCIE) journal (38.4%). Eighty-nine respondents (41.2%) did not cite CE articles in their manuscripts. Furthermore, 41.2% of the respondents declined review invitations because they were too busy (73.0%). The two most common requests for CE were to increase the number of guidelines and review articles (38.0%) and to improve the journal quality (34.7%). Conclusion: Although CE is a representative journal of KSGE, the level of interest and concern for CE among society members was relatively low. Nonetheless, this survey offers valuable insights into the needs and current status of CE, paving the way for its further development. It is clear that more efforts and investments from the society and the editorial board are necessary.

韩国胃肠道内窥镜学会官方期刊《临床内窥镜》的现状和发展需求：一项基于调查的描述性研究

目的:本调查研究旨在探讨韩国胃肠内镜学会(KSGE)官方国际期刊《临床内镜》(CE)的现状、问题和需求。方法:于2023年5月1日至5月15日通过电子邮件向KSGE国内会员发送10项调查。结果用描述性统计进行分析。结果:共分析完整应答216例。大多数受访者(46.8%)每月阅读一次或两次CE。一年读一两次期刊或根本不看的受访者比例相当高，达到36.6%。信息量最大的文章类型是评论文章(53%)，阅读量最少的文章类型是社论(33%)。99名受访者(45.8%)表示，他们不想将文章提交给CE，因为CE不是科学引文索引扩展(SCIE)期刊(38.4%)。89名受访者(41.2%)在其论文中未引用CE文章。此外，41.2%的受访者因为太忙(73.0%)而拒绝评论邀请。最常见的两个要求是增加指南和综述文章的数量(38.0%)和提高期刊质量(34.7%)。结论:虽然CE是KSGE的代表性期刊，但协会成员对CE的兴趣和关注程度相对较低。尽管如此，这项调查提供了有价值的见解，以了解CE的需求和现状，为其进一步发展铺平了道路。显然，社会和编委会需要更多的努力和投入。

期刊介绍： Science Editing (Sci Ed) is the official journal of the Korean Council of Science Editors (https://kcse.org) and Council of Asian Science Editors (https://asianeditor.org). It aims to improve the culture and health of human being by promoting the quality of editing and publishing scientific, technical, and medical journals. Expected readers are editors, publishers, reviewers, and authors of the journals around the world; however, specially focused to those in Asia. Since scholarly journals in Asia are mostly published by the academic societies, universities, or non-profit organizations, Sci Ed is sought to play a role in journal development. The number of publications from Asia is increasing rapidly and overpass that of other continents; meanwhile, the number of international journals and highly appreciated journals is yet to be coming forward. It is task of Asian editors to pledge the journal quality and broaden the visibility and accessibility. Therefore, its scope includes the followings in the field of science, technology, and medicine.
