袁艳平：以“三位一体”建设国际学术平台Yuan Yanping: Building an International Academic Platform Through a Three-in-One Model

西南交通大学机械工程学院教授、党委书记，Energy and Built Environment 期刊主编袁艳平围绕国际化学术平台建设展开分享。他认为，本土高校建设国际期刊，是战略国际化的重要组成部分，也是解决科研选题与成果传播“两头在外”问题的重要路径。结合 Energy and Built Environment 的发展经验，他提出“国际学会、国际会议、国际期刊”相互支撑的三位一体模式。国际会议带来作者、审稿人与学术共同体，国际学会凝聚长期会员和稳定网络，期刊则承载高质量成果发表与国际传播。三者联动，能够帮助新刊快速扩大认知度和影响力。他也强调，期刊发展不能只看影响因子和发文量，更要关注稿源质量、编委参与和审稿体系是否健康。

Yuan Yanping, Professor and Party Secretary of the School of Mechanical Engineering at Southwest Jiaotong University, Editor-in-Chief of Energy and Built Environment, shared his reflections on building international academic platforms. In his view, developing international journals at Chinese universities is an essential part of strategic internationalization and an important way to address the disconnect between research topics and the global dissemination of research outcomes. Drawing on the development of Energy and Built Environment, he proposed a three-in-one model linking international societies, conferences, and journals. International conferences bring authors, reviewers, and scholarly communities; international societies build long-term membership and stable networks; journals provide channels for publishing and disseminating high-quality research. When these three components work together, new journals can expand recognition and impact more quickly. He also emphasized that journal development should not be measured only by impact factors or publication volume, but also by manuscript quality, editorial board engagement, and the health of the review system.

陈炜:Nature Cities的选题逻辑与编辑流程Chen Wei: Editorial Logic and Workflow of Nature Cities

Nature Cities 副主编陈炜从全职编辑视角介绍了 Nature Cities 的办刊定位、内容类型与审稿流程。她提到，Nature Cities 关注一切能够帮助读者重新理解城市的研究，重点不在于研究尺度是否足够“大”，而在于故事是否真正以城市为主角，是否能引发跨学科读者的兴趣。她指出，城市研究不一定要做全球尺度或纯定量研究。一个街区、一条街道、一次定性访谈，只要能够提出具有迁移价值的问题和洞见，也可能成为有影响力的研究。投稿时，作者应说明研究为何重要、为何适合该刊、能为城市研究共同体带来什么新认识，而不是简单强调作者身份或团队头衔。她也介绍，Nature Cities 由全职编辑根据专业背景分配稿件，并通过编辑团队讨论决定是否送审，力求保证流程公平、透明。

Chen Wei, Deputy Editor of Nature Cities, introduced the journal's positioning, article types, and editorial workflow from the perspective of a full-time editor. She explained that Nature Cities is interested in research that helps readers understand cities in new ways. The key is not whether the scale of a study is sufficiently large, but whether the story truly places the city at the center and can engage readers across disciplines. She noted that urban research does not necessarily have to be global in scale or purely quantitative. A neighborhood, a street, or a qualitative interview can become influential if it raises questions and insights with broader relevance. When submitting a paper, authors should explain why the research matters, why it fits the journal, and what new understanding it offers to the urban research community, rather than simply emphasizing the author's identity or institutional profile. She also explained that Nature Cities assigns manuscripts to full-time editors according to expertise and decides whether to send them for review through editorial discussion, with the aim of maintaining a fair and transparent process.

唐芃：Frontiers of Architectural Research 的长期运营Tang Peng: Long-Term Operation of Frontiers of Architectural Research

东南大学建筑学院教授、建筑系系主任、Frontiers of Architectural Research 执行主编唐芃回顾了该刊自 2012 年创刊以来的发展历程。她提到，期刊创办之初面临建筑学界英文论文写作与投稿基础薄弱的困难，但随着数据库收录、国际传播和稿源质量提升，期刊逐步建立起稳定的学术影响。她强调，该刊的重要特点是在科技研究与人文社科之间保持交叉特色，持续保护建筑设计、城市设计、遗产保护等偏人文与设计研究的论文类型。她还分享了期刊以稳定例会、数据监测、严格流程和专题策划推进日常运营的做法，并通过青年学者沙龙、专题组稿会和国际青年学者交流活动，持续积累优质稿源。

Tang Peng, Professor and Chair of the Department of Architecture at the School of Architecture, Southeast University, and Executive Editor-in-Chief of Frontiers of Architectural Research, reviewed the journal's development since its launch in 2012. She noted that in its early years the journal faced challenges caused by limited experience in English academic writing and submission within the architecture field. With database indexing, wider international dissemination, and improved manuscript quality, the journal has gradually built stable academic influence. She emphasized that an important feature of the journal is its interdisciplinary position between scientific research and the humanities and social sciences, while continuing to support research in architectural design, urban design, heritage conservation, and other design-oriented fields. She also described the journal's practices of regular meetings, data monitoring, strict workflows, and thematic planning, as well as its efforts to build high-quality manuscript sources through young scholar salons, special issue workshops, and international youth scholar exchanges.

平艳：Underground Space 的生态化办刊与品牌建设

Ping Yan: Ecological Journal Operation and Brand Building for Underground Space

Underground Space 期刊编辑部副主任平艳介绍了期刊日常运营和品牌建设经验。她提到，Underground Space 创刊于 2016 年，回应了地下空间开发利用、韧性城市、智能建造、绿色发展与人文关怀等方向的国际发表需求。她将期刊建设概括为一种“生态化”过程：主编团队、编委会、编辑部、作者、审稿人和青年学者共同构成可持续发展的学术生态。期刊通过严格审稿、双盲评审、编委培训、专题策划、前沿研判和优秀论文评选等制度保障质量；同时通过品牌讲座、未来地下空间论坛、期刊开放日、十周年系列活动、学生竞赛和高校宣讲等形式，扩大期刊凝聚力和可见度。

Ping Yan, Deputy Director of the Editorial Office of Underground Space, introduced the journal's experience in daily operation and brand building. She noted that Underground Space was launched in 2016 in response to international publication needs related to underground space development, resilient cities, intelligent construction, green development, and human-centered concerns. She described journal development as an ecological process in which the editor-in-chief team, editorial board, editorial office, authors, reviewers, and young scholars together form a sustainable academic ecosystem. The journal safeguards quality through strict review, double-blind peer review, editorial board training, special issue planning, frontier topic assessment, and best paper selection. It also expands cohesion and visibility through branded lectures, future underground space forums, open days, tenth-anniversary events, student competitions, and university roadshows.

Founded in 2022, the journal focuses on architectural science, design science, and human settlement research in the age of artificial intelligence. It emphasizes design thinking as a foundation and uses artificial intelligence and scientific evidence to advance the discipline of architecture. Yuan noted that the journal is supported by a platform system linking one workshop, one conference, and one journal: DigitalFUTURES workshops, multi-continental international conferences, and the journal itself. As a young journal, it still needs to improve manuscript processing efficiency, stabilize publication quality, and expand international influence.

圆桌讨论由同济大学建筑与城市规划学院副教授柴华主持，周鸣浩、唐芃、陈炜、平艳、袁烽、王颖、杨冬、韩佳（Springer Nature执行出版人）及季文慧（西南交通大学副教授、《Energy and Built Environment》编辑部主任）共同参与。
圆桌讨论围绕“如何提升期刊影响力”和“青年学者如何参与期刊建设”展开。与会嘉宾普遍认为，影响力提升没有捷径。高引用和高影响力的基础仍然是文章质量、领域认可度和稳定的学术共同体。年轻期刊尤其应先提升文章质量和品牌认可，再逐步扩大规模。
在青年参与方面，陈炜介绍了 Nature 系列鼓励青年研究者参与联合审稿的机制，并强调编辑看稿时关注工作本身是否有说服力，而不是作者是否来自“大团队”。唐芃表示，Frontiers of Architectural Research 通过青年学者会议、透明流程介绍和审稿人网络，让青年作者理解国际期刊运作并参与其中。平艳介绍，Underground Space 通过青年智库、线上论坛、学生竞赛和双盲评审机制，为青年学者提供更公平的参与路径。杨冬也提到，Built Heritage 建立青年人才库后，审稿效率和流程质量都有明显改善。

Moderated by Chai Hua, Associate Professor at the College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University, the roundtable brought together Zhou Minghao, Tang Peng, Chen Wei, Ping Yan, Philip F. Yuan, Wang Ying, Yang Dong, Han Jia (Executive Publisher, Springer Nature), and Ji Wenhui (Associate Professor at Southwest Jiaotong University and Director of the Editorial Office of Energy and Built Environment).

The roundtable discussion centered on how to enhance journal impact and how young scholars can participate in journal development. Participants generally agreed that there is no shortcut to impact. High citation and strong influence are still grounded in article quality, field recognition, and a stable academic community. Young journals should first improve article quality and brand recognition before gradually expanding in scale.

Regarding young scholar participation, Chen Wei introduced mechanisms in the Nature portfolio that encourage young researchers to take part in co-reviewing, and emphasized that editors focus on the persuasiveness of the work itself rather than whether the author comes from a prominent team. Tang Peng noted that Frontiers of Architectural Research helps young authors understand and participate in international journal operations through young scholar meetings, transparent workflow introductions, and reviewer networks. Ping Yan explained that Underground Space provides fairer paths for young scholars through a youth think tank, online forums, student competitions, and double-blind review. Yang Dong also noted that after Built Heritage established a young talent pool, review efficiency and workflow quality improved significantly.

学院期刊代表也分享了各自思考：Architecture Asia 希望借助客座编辑网络发掘亚洲不同地区的青年建筑师、评论家和学者；Perspectives in Architecture and Urbanism 关注如何在平台型期刊中建立不同文章之间的学术关联；Architectural Intelligence 则希望在人工智能带来的学科转型中，与青年研究者共同探索新的知识范式。

袁烽院长在总结中表示，期刊建设是一项需要长期投入和共同体支撑的工作。学院希望通过更多平台和机制，把许多长期默默投入的学术工作呈现出来，让期刊成为服务学术、学科和知识发展的重要载体。 

Taking journals as its entry point, the forum connected multiple themes including international communication, academic community building, young scholar development, and the future of disciplines. The experiences shared by different journals show that an excellent journal requires clear academic positioning and high-quality manuscripts, as well as stable editorial mechanisms, open international networks, and a continually growing young scholarly community.

Looking ahead, Tongji University College of Architecture and Urban Planning will continue to rely on its diverse journal portfolio to advance international academic communication in architecture, planning, heritage, urban studies, artificial intelligence, and related fields, while building academic platforms with greater openness, influence, and creativity.
