访谈纪录：

AM2018影响因子表现依旧强劲，您如何评价AM的表现?

Gregory: 随着读者群的扩大及引文量的增加，AM的影响因子30年间持续提升。编辑团队对期刊取得的发展感到非常高兴，更因为我们的期刊是多学科和跨学科领域的。当然，我们的竞争对手们都很优秀，我们也会一如既往的努力。

The Impact Factor of AM has been growing continuously over 30 years, as readership and citation grow. The Editorial Team is very happy with the development, and especially because our journal is multi-/interdisciplinary. Of course, there are strong competitors so there is still much to do.

AM是一本享有学术盛誉和成功的期刊，您有哪些经验可以和大家分享?

Gregory: 在过去的20年里，中国的科研硕果累累，特别是在能源、可持续、医药以及高科技等领域。这些也是AM所关注的重点领域，期刊团队与中国学者建立了非常紧密的联系，这种合作对我们大家来说是愉快也是双赢的。

Research in China has developed tremendously over the last 20 years, especially in areas relevant to energy, sustainability, healthcare, and high-tech. As these are priority areas also for AM the journal team has built a very strong connection to Chinese scientists and this is both fun and good for us all.

作为顶级期刊，和同领域其它顶级期刊相比，您认为AM的优势在哪里?

Gregory: 所有顶级期刊的发展都离不开高质量、热情、勤奋的编辑团队，AM就拥有这样的团队。编辑们热爱自己所做的工作、努力为科研工作者提供优质的服务。我认为他们融洽的合作也是一种优势。

All top journals need to have quality and enthusiastic and hard-working global and interdisciplinary editorial teams, and the Advanced team is no different. They enjoy what they do and work hard to provide scientists with an excellent service. I think they have fun working with each other and that gives them an edge.

学术圈愈演愈烈的的开放获取运动，AM将如何应对?

Gregory: 开放获取(和公开)通常是一件好事儿。这里问题的关键是未来为出版服务付费的方式是什么样的，作者来支付开放获取的费用只是其中一种选择。我认为必须为作者和读者提供适合他们个人要求的选择。但从长远来看，只有能够提供高可靠性、高可持续性、高服务质量以及平等公平的模式才能被广泛接受。在将来，AM及其姊妹期刊将会为科研群体提供可自由选择的权利，以便科学信息的长期保存得到保障，也使得科研工作者们付出的努力和创新得到尊重。

Open access (and openness) is generally a good thing. But the real question is how publishing services will be paid for in the future, and author-pays open access is only one option. I believe it is important to provide authors and readers with choices which fit their individual requirements, but in the long term, only models that provide reliability, sustainability, quality of service, and equality and fairness will prevail. AM and its sister journals will be offering freedom of choice to the scientific community, so that the scientific record is secured for future generations, and hard work and scientific talent is rewarded in the long term.

AM中国学者发稿量逐年上升，您怎么看待中国将进入材料科学顶级阵营的趋势？

Gregory: 日益加大的科研投入以及学者们的辛勤付出促进了中国高质量科研成果的不断产出。许多中国学者以及科研机构可以说已成为世界范围内的杰出代表。这对全球经济的发展以及解决所有国家面临的重要的全球挑战都至关重要。我认为中国的强劲表现势不可挡，并且我相信中国能够帮助发展中国家在解决这些问题方面发挥自己的作用。

China has converted hard work and increasing scientific output into high-quality output. Many Chinese scientists and their institutions can now be counted amongst the best in the world. That is very important for the global economy, and for solving important global challenges facing all nations. I think this strong performance is set to continue, and I am sure that China can help developing countries to play their part in solving the problems.

您对中国完善学术生态、与国际科研评价体系接轨、增强中国学术国际影响力有什么建议？

Gregory: 中国在这方面的进展显著，并取得了十分卓越的成就。在我看来，如果能够吸引西方学生来到中国学习，这对于增进双方科学和文化的紧密联系、促进西方对中国文化及其表现形式的理解是十分有效的。与此同时，深厚的友谊将有助于下一代科学家们的融洽合作。

Much progress has been made and great successes achieved. I imaging that attracting more western students to Chinese universities would be a useful thing to strengthen as science and culture are closely linked and improving western understanding for Chinese culture and performance and friendship will help next generations of scientists to work in harmony together.
