Abstract:

The subject distribution status of columns of Chinese social science interdisciplinary journals
could reflect the subject emphasized aspect and development conditions. The distribution status includes
three characteristics as following. Firstly, from subject affiliation aspect, there are three kinds of columns,
including column of one of the intersected subject, interdisciplinary column and column without subject
affiliation. Secondly, interdisciplinary column is non-normalization and with low proportion. Thirdly, different
kinds of columns are not balance, and the column of one of the intersected subject is emphasized. These
characteristics indicate that Chinese social science interdisciplinary journals have more development space
regarding interdisciplinary column and special column.
