从核心期刊视角看健康养生杂志的级别认定与发展趋势
From the perspective of core journals, the classification and development trends of health and wellness magazines have become a topic of increasing academic interest. As public awareness of health continues to rise, the number of publications focusing on养生 (yangsheng), or health preservation, has surged in recent years. However, not all such magazines meet the rigorous standards required for inclusion in China’s Core Journal Catalogue, which is widely regarded as a benchmark for academic quality. This article examines how health and wellness magazines are evaluated for core journal status, explores the criteria used in their assessment, and analyzes emerging trends shaping the future of this publishing sector. It highlights the growing emphasis on scientific rigor, evidence-based content, and interdisciplinary research as key factors influencing the elevation of health-focused periodicals within the academic hierarchy. Furthermore, the integration of traditional Chinese medicine with modern medical science is identified as a significant driver of innovation and credibility in the field. As digital platforms expand access and interactivity, leading health magazines are also adapting through multimedia content and data-driven personalization, signaling a shift toward more dynamic and authoritative forms of public health communication.
