Influenced by Chinese traditional thought, some contemporary editors of Chinese academic journals have holistic and authority‐based thought patterns and values. Editors with such ideas are easily misled in the refereeing of manuscriptss. This leads to some high‐quality manuscripts being turned down and others, of little academic value, being published. The editorial aim of publication of the best material is difficult to realize. If a journal wishes to develop and gain international acceptance, editors with such ideas must adjust and change their thought patterns and values.
