据报道，近日，由华东政法大学主办的C刊《法学》杂志宣布于2026年起实行"隔年用稿制"，即本年度 在《法学》刊发过论文的，需间隔1年方能再次投稿发表论文。 所谓"C刊"，即南大核心，CSSCI来源期刊的简称，全称《中文社会科学引文索引》，是由南京大学中 国社会科学研究评价中心组织评定，是国内人文社科领域认可度最高、最权威的核心期刊目录。 由于近10年来，我国博士学位研究生和硕士学位研究生招收规模持续扩大，同时高校的学术职称评定和 博士毕业都要求把核心期刊发文作为一项关键指标，因而"C刊发表难"已成为学术发表中所普遍焦虑和 关心的话题。 "隔年用稿制"这一看似技术性的编辑规则调整，直接针对的或许正是学术界长久以来心照不宣却积弊已 深的顽疾，即由少数"学术权威"或"高产教授"对顶级期刊版面的持续性占据。 因此，《法学》此举，绝非简单的流程变更，而是一场旨在打破资源固化、促进学术公平的勇敢尝试。 其直面学术资源分配不公的痛点，以简洁有力的规则挑战固有的利益格局，为青年学者成长开辟通道， 为学术生态健康发展注入活水。 顶级C刊版面是极其稀缺的学术资源，而其"隔年用稿制"的首要锋芒，就是指向学术发表领域的"马太效 应" ...
