Following the frontier and leading the development of agricultural engineering discipline: exploring the development of the Transactions of the CSAE

The successful experience of Transactions of the Chinese Society of Agricultural Engineering(CSAE) in tracking the development of agricultural engineering discipline was introduced. The future reporting orientations of different columns in Transactions of the CSAE by tailing after the developing frontier of different specializations of agricultural engineering discipline were analyzed. Real-time adjustment of reporting orientation of a scholarly journal running after the disciplinary development is the task and duty of a sci-tech scholarly journal, which ensures timely reflection of related disciplinary development, an important role in promoting disciplinary development, and winning an everlasting victory in the fierce competition among more and more journals. On the basis of thorough analyses of the situation, problems, opportunities and challenges faced by Chinese scholarly journals, measures taken by scholarly journals for avoiding unfavorable factors were presented, which provide helpful references for the development of Chinese scholarly journals.
