How to identify illegal CN publications

1. Illegal publications Illegal publications generally have the following * * * characteristics:

1. Collect publishing fees, review fees and other fees from contributors-this is the purpose of illegal publications. Article 32 of Chapter IV 1 of the Copyright Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that remuneration shall be paid to the copyright owner after the publication of the work.

2. The quality of paper and printing is poor, and small characters are often used, resulting in too many single articles; The typesetting style is rough, and the pictures used in the publication are old, ugly and lack of aesthetic feeling-this is an illegal publication to reduce costs. Of course, there are also a few illegal publications with high paper and printing quality.

3. The name or theme of the publication is quite different from the content of the articles published internally; The quality of the articles is not high, the length is similar, there are many articles and the magazines are very thick; Articles published in periodicals are concentrated in a certain area or some colleges and universities; Publications are international, and the articles published are almost all domestic-illegal publications welcome articles published for money, and there is no time or need to conduct a comprehensive review and conception of the publications.

4. The submission address of illegal publications is mostly the mailbox of a post office, and online mailboxes are mostly free mailboxes provided by well-known websites-illegal publications will not leave their real contact addresses in order to avoid being traced by "anti-pornography and illegal publications" institutions; In order to save costs, there is no need to set up your own website. Of course, some illegal publications have also seriously established ugly websites on the Internet and tried their best to disguise their publications. For example, non-existent organizations such as the World Chinese Media Association have established websites and listed all their illegal publications as the so-called "core journals of the World Chinese Media Association".

Second, the identification skills of illegal publications The following are some experiences and skills summarized by the Scientific Research Office to identify illegal publications:

1. There is only the international standard number ISSN, but there is no domestic uniform number CN, or although there is a domestic uniform number CN, the problem of number CN must be an illegal publication. Teachers and researchers in our school should know something about CN numbers. China standard series publications. It is stipulated that the CN number is the code number assigned by the national publishing management department to the continuous publications of the provinces. Prefixed with "CN", it consists of 6 digits and classification number. Its structural format is as follows: CN XX-XXXX/YY CN and 6 digits are empty with half a Chinese character, the first 2 digits and the last 4 digits of 6 digits are separated by a half-word line "-",and the first 2 digits are the area code. According to "China people" in GB/T 2260- 1999, the last four digits are the serial numbers of regional serial publications, in which 000 1 ~ 0999 is the serial number of newspapers, 1000 ~ 5999 is the serial number of printed serial publications, and 6000 ~ 8999 is the serial number of online serial publications. 9000 ~ 9999 is the serial number of tangible electronic serial publications (for example, the classification number is mainly used to explain the main subject categories of serial publications, which are usually given according to the basic categories of China Library Classification (4th edition), for example, the cultural and educational category is G, and the classification number is placed after the 6 digits of the domestic unified serial publication number, separated by a diagonal line "/". In Beijing, where there are many serial publications, when the area code "1 1" is used up, the serial publications in Beijing use "10" as the spreading code.

The most common problems with the serial number of illegal publications are as follows:

(1) The serial number registered overseas is illegally edited, published, printed and distributed in China. In order to deceive the authors, they usually only indicate the international standard number ISSN on the copyright page, but not the domestic unified number CN.

(2) On the surface, there are both international standard serial number ISSN and domestic unified serial number CN, but the difference is that brackets or other letters (such as HK, NR, H) are added after the CN number, indicating that it is registered in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It is also illegal for such newspapers to set up editorial departments, reporter stations or offices in the mainland to engage in publishing, printing and distribution activities.

(3) False domestic serial number. For example, the first two digits (region number) after CN are 00- 10, 16-20, which are more than 66 or more than two digits, and they are all fake domestic unified publication numbers, because these numbers are not within the region number specified in the China standard serial publication number; Others use the serial numbers of other existing legal publications.

(4) Multiple versions of a serial number. For example, there is no problem with ISSN and CN of a university journal, but there are two or more editions of the journal in each issue, of which only one edition is official, legal, open to the outside world, and the other editions are charged, unpublished and closed for the author's collection. In this case, if you only look at the serial number, it is difficult to find the problem, and only by comparing other versions can you find the problem.

(5) the area number is inconsistent with the area where it is located, that is, the publication is published in a different place, or the address of the editorial department is inconsistent with the area number behind CN. China standard series publications. If the title is unchanged and the place of publication changes, the domestic unified serial publication number should be redistributed, that is, if the title of the serial publication is unchanged and the place of publication is moved from one province or municipality directly under the Central Government to another province, municipality directly under the Central Government, the domestic unified serial publication number should be redistributed. For example, the CN number of the illegal publication China Education Forum is 43, which should be published in Hunan. If it is changed,

(6) There is a problem with the serial number of regional serial publications behind the regional serial number. For example, an illegal publication is a periodical, but its serial number is 000 1, and the serial number of the illegal publication China Education Forum is 7772. According to the standard serial number of China, 000 1 should be the serial number of the newspaper.

2. Illegal publications claiming to be Hong Kong publications or printed with Hong Kong publication numbers have the following identification skills:

(1) According to the publications currently received by the research institute, almost all publications claiming to be Hong Kong are illegal. The titles of these publications generally bear the words "China", "China" or "Chinese and foreign".

(2) At present, most publications in Hong Kong are in the form of educational publications, so please treat publications with the word "education" with caution.

(3) Knowing that it is a Hong Kong publication, but the contents of the printing unit, publishing unit or contact number are mainland, almost all of them are illegal publications.

(4) The so-called Hong Kong publication, but its directors and organizers can't find it on the Internet at all, or the information of these organizations is only related to the introduction or essay writing of the publication, which is illegal.

3. Don't think that legal publications are publications that publish essay inspiration or advertisements in national legal publications. Not long ago, Guangming Daily, China Education News, Education Digest Weekly and China Youth Daily all advertised the illegal publication China Education and Teaching Journal.

4. Don't believe that those publications jointly organized, co-organized, supported and sponsored by some large units are all legal publications under the banner of some celebrity consultants. In fact, many people and units may not even know that there is such a newspaper. Of course, it does not rule out that some people and units themselves are so-called "newspaper commissions."

If you are really not sure whether a newspaper is a legal publication, please take the publication to the scientific research office for identification first, or you can consult the provincial press and publication bureau or the administrative department for industry and commerce that provided it with CN number according to the copyright mark of the newspaper. For example, the illegal publication "China Education Forum" is CN 43-7772/R, and its editorial department is in Jinan. If you are not sure whether it is a legal publication, you can call Hunan Press and Publication Bureau (because 43 is the area code of Hunan) or Shandong Press and Publication Bureau (because the editorial department is in Shandong), and of course you can check it online.
