Abstract:

The internal manuscript rate of university journals is an important index formed in the process of
running journals and reflects the proportion of journals’hiring manuscripts of their own school. By studying
the data published in the 2014 Annual Report of Impact Factors of Chinese Academic Journals（Humanities
and Social Sciences） , the article uses the methods of variance analysis and multiple regression analysis to
analyze the influence of internal manuscript rate on journal quality in 72 social science journals of colleges and
universities. The following conclusions are drawn:（1） the internal manuscript rate of social science journals
have a significant impact on the quality of journals;（2） the internal manuscript rate of 30% is the alert value
of social science journals. University journals should adjust the proportion of internal manuscript according to
their own actual situation, through the rate of internal manuscript to show the features of journals.
