Should we publish in Chinese? –answers exemplified by articles on OSH and electromagnetism indexed in selected databases

Abstract

The article addresses the issues of scientific communication, including the indexing of articles in international databases (Web of Science
CC, Scopus) and Chinese institutions, including technical universities. One of the important issues in assessing the quality of a scientist's work is the opportunity to share the results of their research with other scientists. Due to the increasing number of publications of authors affiliated with Chinese institutions, the authors analyze the availability and amount of information found in databases provided by Clarivate Analytics, Elsevier, as well as in library databases and catalogues provided by Chinese institutions. Searches were carried out on the examples of electromagnetism and occupational health and safety, as well as for the journal Przeglad Elektrotechniczny. One of the questions in the article concerns the availability of Polish scientific publications in Chinese databases, primarily dedicated to people for whom Chinese is a native language.
