Exploration of the Collaborative and Integrated Development Path Between Scientific Journals and Preprint Platforms—Based on the Development Trend Analysis of MedRxiv Preprint Platform
This article explores the feasibility path of collaborative and integrated development between scientific journals and preprint platforms by analyzing the current situation and characteristics of the typical preprint platforms,in order to promote the high-quality development of scientific journals in China.The paper takes the representative preprint platform medRxiv as the research object,and uses the comparative analysis,multidimensional evaluation,and case study methods for the data statistical analysis.Research has found that the medRxiv platform has advantages such as high influence of publishing institutions,continuous growth in paper downloads,rapid publication of scientific research results,open comments and instant communication,and rapid growth in online publishing.Based on the analysis results,further specific strategies for the coordinated development of scientific journals and preprint platforms are proposed,including regularly visiting the preprint platforms and screening the high-attention papers and high-quality authors for invitation to contribute;paying attention to the research results of the funded projects,and searching for the high-quality papers for the targeted invitation to contribute;selecting the specific themes and conducting the special topic submissions;establishing the"X2J"cooperation model;establishing the association between journal articles and preprint papers to improve the retrieval rate of literature;introducing the policy support to promote the collaborative and integrated development of scientific journals and preprint platforms.
