科技期刊的属性将决定其定位、经营、管理和发展,因此,探讨其准公共品的属性对科技期刊的发展具有积极的意义。科技期刊的经济属性表现出:①竞争性弱,使用和消费的非竞争性不充分;②具有一定的难排他性,但又不具备纯公共品的“不可拒绝性”;③具有巨大的正外在性;④消费人群中具有较多的“搭便车者”。按公共品理论,科技期刊既不能界定为私人品,也不能界定为纯公共品,而应该界定为处于纯公共品与私人品之间的准公共品。

The properties of sci-tech periodicals will determine their location, operation, management and development. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the properties of their quasi-public goods for the development of sci-tech periodicals. The economic properties of sci-tech periodicals show that: ①competitiveness, inadequate non-competitive use and consumption; ② “non-refoulement” with a certain degree of exclusivity, but without pure public goods; ③ huge Positive externalities; ④ consumer groups have more “free-riders”. According to the theory of public goods, sci-tech periodicals can neither be defined as private goods nor as pure public goods, but should be defined as quasi-public goods which are between pure public goods and private goods.
