For China’s regional cultural and economic development is uneven, there are significant differences in periodical layout, talent reserve, scientific research strength and scientific research output. An in-depth analysis of the regional distribution characteristics of Chinese academic journals and authors of humanities and social sciences will help to clarify the regional development pattern of humanities and social sciences, guide the balanced development of various regions, and help to promote the benign interaction between regional academic journals and authors. Relevant literature research shows that there is a positive correlation between the numbers of local academic journals, local universities, population and GDP, but there is little in-depth analysis of the interactive relationship between academic journals and authors in different regions. Whether there are regional preferences or restrictions on the author’s choice of journals? In the process of opening up the journal, there is a phenomenon of localization of manuscript sources and high self-contribution rate of the sponsor. To what extent is the process of manuscript use and author submission affected by regional factors? Based on the reprinted data of selected materials of RUC’s Information Center for Social Sciences, from the two dimensions of periodical publishing place and author location, this paper puts forward the concepts and indicators of periodical dependence, author contribution, local contribution rate and local contribution rate in different regions. The paper focuses on the interactive effect and relationship between periodical publishing places and authors’ organization location, quantitatively observes the actual effect of opening journals and the regional tendencies of scholars’ contributions, and reflects the law of academic flow in different regions. Applied to specific disciplines, it reflects the regional distribution and flow characteristics of discipline journals and authors, and analyzes the inflow and outflow laws of discipline publications in different regions. Applied to different regions, it depicts the characteristics of journals and the interactive relationship between local journals and local authors, so as to provide a practical measurement tool for the development directions of journals and the guidance of excellent manuscript sources in regions. It is found that the distribution of Chinese humanities and social sciences journals and authors is uneven, the "Matthew effect" of excellent authors is stronger, the regional layout of scientific research institutions is unbalanced, and the talent competition of scientific research institutions is superimposed, which intensifies the directional flow and regional enrichment of scientific research talents. Excellent journals also show regional imbalance, while affected by many factors, the aggregation effect is limited. The correlation characteristics between excellent journals and excellent authors in different regions are quite different. There are many states such as "closure", "alienation" and "imbalance" in different disciplines. Some characteristics will have an adverse impact on the development of disciplines in the region. These characteristics require that management policies should further optimize the allocation of academic resources and promote the balanced development of academic forces in different regions. Journal operators should pay attention to the regional layout of journals and authors, and strengthen academic exchanges, enhance the understanding between journals and scholars. Meanwhile, they should also promote the coordinated development of academia, and improve the mechanism and way of guiding the balanced development of regions with academic evaluation, as well as bring the scope of regional distribution into the evaluation scope of academic journals, authors and institutions.
