“…For a journal, the survival in association with financial problem is the major problem. It is also observed that 18 journals (see Table and Lin, ) had a contract breach with international partners, or changed the partner to another. This yields the conclusion that the partner sometimes is not as effective as expected.…”

“…As of January 2015 there were 391 CELJs in China of which 276 were STM journals (Lin, ), while the others are in the social sciences and humanities. The data concerning these 391 journals used here were extracted mainly from the GAPP website (General Administration of Press and Publication of the PRC, n.d.) and other sources, including the official website of each CELJ and other tools such as the Web of Science (basically, SCI, SCI(E) (Science Citation Index‐Expanded) and SSCI (Social Sciences Citation Index), referred to together here as SCI for convenience).…”

This article considers China's English language journals (CELJs) and looks at two aspects of partnership with international publishers: the financial cost and their ability to deliver the quick success objectives of the journals. Success is defined as being indexed in international databases such as SCI (Science Citation Index) and Ei (Engineering Index) Compendex databases. Our research shows that 226 CELJs (57.8%) have an international publishing partnership with publishers such as Springer, Elsevier, and Wiley. A survey of 12 CELJs in Hubei Province, China, shows that 75% journals have financial pressures on the journal opera- tion. The Journal of Rock Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (JRMGE) is pro-vided as an illustration of the operation costs of CELJs and to demonstrate the associated financial pressures. We conclude that although international partnership is an on-going fashion at present in China, it has both benefits and limitations. We also propose that to reduce the financial pressure on CELJs, government funding should be differently apportioned, providing a better return on investment (ROI).
