The Directory of China Open Reading STM Journals is a comprehensive platform aimed at promoting the digitalization process of Chinese scientific journals and enhancing their social influence. This platform is led by the China Association of University Science and Technology Journals and jointly built by multiple technology companies. Through objective and fair calculation models, it conducts research and evaluation on the open reading level of self built platforms for Chinese science and technology journals, injecting strong impetus into the digital development of the science and technology journal industry. The core functions of the platform include collecting information from journals that have self built platforms and can read or download full-text papers for free, as well as objectively evaluating the readability, discoverability, completeness of identification, and user experience of Chinese science and technology journal self built platforms. Through the four primary indicators of reading index, discovery index, experience index, and identification index, the platform can comprehensively quantify the digital progress and open reading level of journals, providing clear guidance for the continuous optimization and improvement of journals. In order to ensure the accuracy and fairness of the evaluation, the platform has adopted a comprehensive and scientific evaluation model that covers key indicators such as content quality, user experience, traffic, and influence of journal websites. Through regular evaluations, the platform can provide effective optimization suggestions for journal websites in terms of digital performance, interaction design, information retrieval, and other aspects. In addition, the platform will organize a series of specialized training sessions on the digitalization of journals, aimed at enhancing the professional competence and digital literacy of journal operators.
