The Taiwan Citation Index system of the National Central Library began operating in 2013. The TCI system contains both TSSCI and THCI. We find that of the JCIIE papers cited by TSSCI, 64.7% were cited by JCIIE (48.9% of which were the result of author self-citation), and only 19.1% were cited by other authors in other journals. Among papers cited by TCI, 45.3% were cited in the JCIIE, and 40.2% were cited by other authors in other journals. This indicates that JCIIE is more important to humanities specialists than those working in the social sciences. We argue that the new policy of accepting only English papers will diminish the role of new technology in humanities research. This fact merits the attention of all domestic academic journals in the field of social sciences and humanities.
