In this editorial we describe the confounding factors that contribute to the poor international recognition of small journals: author pool, review process, finances, language, and visibility. These factors originate from relative scientific inadequacy of the local environment and close a positive feedback loop (vicious circle) of journal inadequacy. We argue that small journals may provide important information and outline the ways in which they can be assisted.
在这篇社论中，我们描述了导致小型期刊在国际上认可度低的混杂因素：作者群体、审稿流程、资金、语言和知名度。这些因素源于当地环境相对科学水平不足，并形成了期刊不足的正反馈循环（恶性循环）。我们认为小型期刊可能提供重要信息，并概述了可以帮助它们的方式。
