Some institutions have issued blacklists of academic journals in China and use them as a basis for research evaluation. However, due to a lack of transparent formulation criteria, the characteristics of blacklisted journals remain unclear. Using blacklisted academic journals of the East China University of Political Science and Law, this study analyzed differences in characteristics between blacklisted and non-blacklisted journals via web surveys and statistical analyses. Statistically significant differences were detected for article review time, article processing charges (APCs), the number of editorial board members, and the journal impact factor. There was no significant difference in the number of editors. While there is scientific merit in creating and publishing a blacklist of academic journals, the list development process requires more rigorous evaluation and a public process of development.
一些机构已经发布了中国学术期刊黑名单，并将其作为研究评估的依据。然而，由于缺乏透明的制定标准，黑名单期刊的特点尚不清楚。本研究使用华东政法大学的学术期刊黑名单，通过网络调查和统计分析，分析了黑名单期刊和非黑名单期刊之间的特征差异。在审稿时间、文章处理费（APC）、编委人数和期刊影响因子方面存在显著差异。编辑人数方面没有显著差异。虽然创建和发布学术期刊黑名单有一定的科学价值，但该名单的制定过程需要更严格的评估和公开的制定过程。
