文化作为一种精神力量,能够在人们认识世界、改造世界的过程中转化为物质力量,对社会发展产生深刻的影响。文化在期刊的发展中具有不可替代的作用。从办刊之初,《农业与农村研究(Agricultural & Rural Studies)》期刊就十分重视文化体系建设。经过几次修订,《Agricultural & Rural Studies》期刊文化体系逐渐成型,现已基本成熟。《Agricultural & Rural Studies》倡导的文化内核包括:
(1)使命:“为天地立心,为生民立命,为往圣继绝学,为万世开太平”。(Mission: To set principles for the universe, to secure life and fortune for the populace, to develop the academy of sages, to establish peace for all future generations.)
(2)愿景:建立学者社区中心(SCC),成为农业、农村和农民的变革者。(Vision: Establish a Scholar Community Center (SCC) as a changemaker for agriculture, rural areas, and farmers.)
(3)定位:世界眼光,国际标准,中国特色,高端定位。(Orientation: Global perspective, international standards, Chinese characteristics, high-end positioning.)
(4)核心价值:成就他人,成就自我。(Core Value: Add value around you (The journal adds value to the author, who in turn adds value to the journal).)
(5)出版社理念:坚守多样性、公平性和包容性。(SCC Philosophy: Uphold diversity, equity, and inclusion.)
(6)期刊理念:少承诺,多兑现。(Journal Philosophy: Promise less, deliver more.)
(7)编辑部口号:将心注入;找到办法往前走。(Editorial Slogans: Pour your heart into A&R; Find a way forward.)
