The Friday morning session on the degree to which China’s journal policies have the capacity to shape global journal publishing was pretty sobering. The concept wasn’t new, but the data and modeling that were shared made the potential implications feel much more immediate. Given the explosive growth in research and publishing output from China, a relatively small (in percentage terms) shift in publishing patterns on the part of Chinese researchers away from American, British, and European journals towards Chinese ones would have an outsized impact on Western publishing — and it could also significantly decrease the percentage of scientific research published in English, which up until now has been the lingua franca of scholarly publishing. I don’t see any reason to doubt that this shift represents a likely scenario.
