Abstract: In order to understand the current situation of the journals of science and engineering in universities in Sichuan province,we conducted an investigation into 23 journals of science and engineering in 21 technological universities in Sichuan province,which was evaluated by JIF(The Sciences and Engineering)of CNKI in 2015,by means of online survey,fieldwork and questionnaire. The investigation found that there appears a multilayered development of the journals of science and engineering and the overall impact performances are not prominent. Journals of the 985 and 211 universities have relatively greater impact,but journals of the provincial universities have relatively weak influence. The turnover of editorial staff is rather high and the scholarly senior editors are inadequate. Universities'lack of emphasis on the function and role of journals results in insufficient investment to journal promotion. Hereto,we present the following suggestions:(1)establish and enhance academic quality and characteristics;(2)try to win school policy and finance support for more efficient operation of journals;(3)construct stronger editorial team with improved comprehensive qualities and professional qualification;(4)enhance innovation and modernization in journal development.

Key words: Sichuan province, journals of science and engineering in universities, influential factors of academic journals, the reform and development of university journals, the integration and innovation of journals
