Abstract: With the continuous improvement of China's scientific research level,higher requirements are put forward for the running level of scientific journals,and the traditional concept of running journals can hardly meet the needs of modern scientific research development. By using the method of literature and information science,the potential information behind the literature is deeply exploited,and its scientific guiding role for sci-tech journals is explored. Taking the Journal Marine Information Technology and Application as an example,the research hotspots,research frontiers,selection of outstanding authors and institutions are expounded,and the boosting role of literature and information science for the development of sci-tech journals is discussed,so as to provide reference for similar sci-tech journals.

Key words: literature and information science, sci-tech journals, CNKI database, WOS database
