Abstract:     As an important academic exchange platform in the field of management science, Science Research Management has launched frontier topics since 2018 in line with the domestic and international situation, and responded actively to the latest development strategy of the country, which has continuously added topics that are frontier, innovative and practical. This paper adopts the content analysis method to systematically sort out the front topic selection solicitation of Science Research Management, and compares it with international research, in order to explore the path to improve the academic influence of frontier topic selection and the value of academic research results under topic selection, so as to put forward the future development direction and suggestions of the journal. The findings are as follows: (1) Based on the in-depth analysis of the latest national development strategy, Science Research Management added frontier topics such as national scientific and technological security, regional innovation ecosystem construction, basic research and original innovation ability, guided scholars to take China′s "situation" as the basis of framework construction and research assumptions based on the urgent practical problems to be solved in China, analyzed the imperfect national scientific and technological security system, weak regional innovation ability and carried out a forward-looking analysis on problems such as insufficient original innovation ability. (2) The frontier topics proposed by Science Research Management, which makes full use of China′s institutional advantages, are of great significance to the innovation of management theory with Chinese characteristics. However, the research results under the topic did not fully achieve the research goal of building a perfect theoretical system based on the situation with Chinese characteristics. The first reason is that the practice and problems of management with Chinese characteristics are complex and diverse, and it is difficult to condense the theory to meet the requirements of science and universality as well as Chinese characteristics. Secondly, the existing research of Science Research Management mainly takes the western theory as the underlying structure to support the development of the localization theory system, and less considers the elements with Chinese characteristics. However, compared with the western countries, the embedded national situation, social culture and institutional environment of China′s enterprise innovation management practice are different, so the existing theoretical basis lacks a certain fit with the management practice with Chinese characteristics. (3) In the future, on the one hand, Science Research Management can strengthen the sharing and dissemination of frontier topics and high-quality research results by expanding the publicity channels of frontier topics, setting up research columns on frontier topics, and building display positions for innovative results of topics, so as to attract more scholars to understand and comprehensively and deeply analyze the major problems related to management science in the development process of China behind frontier topics. At the same time, guiding scholars to build a perfect and more national characteristic management innovation theoretical system based on China′s national conditions and enterprise characteristic management practice to guide the development of local enterprises. On the other hand, Science Research Management still needs to go deeper into the local institutional environment and cultural background, and dig out topics that are more of China′s practical significance and can fully reflect the times and frontier nature of academic research. At the same time, Science Research Management is supposed to constantly improve the quality of topics and guide scholars to embed China′s unique situational characteristics into research design, so as to provide original management theory support with academic value for the high-quality innovation and development of local enterprises. Although there are shortcomings in this paper, the more important significance lies in, on the one hand, analyzing the frontier topics of Science Research Management and the current situation of academic research under international related topics, clarifying the differences in research direction between domestic and foreign scholars under the guidance of different situations, and inspiring more scholars to realize that China′s unique institutional situation can give birth to a theoretical system with more characteristics of China′s national conditions, thus attracting scholars to embed China′s unique situation characteristics into research designs. On the other hand, combined with the Chinese situation, this paper puts forward the research prospect, guides scholars to pay attention to the emerging new problems and phenomena, takes the practical problems to be solved in China as the research breakthrough, and provides constantly the frontier theory rooted in Chinese management practice for the field of Chinese management science.
