Challenges and countermeasures in the construction of preprint platform for humanities and social sciences in China
[Purposes]This article aims to identify the challenges and underlying reasons in the construction of preprint platforms for humanities and social sciences(HSS)in China.It then explores the effective pathways to building and advancing preprint platforms to support the development of philosophy and social sciences with Chinese characteristics.[Methods]A comprehensive approach involving literature review,online research,and questionnaire survey was used to analyze the characteristics and construction obstacles of preprint platforms in HSS in China.[Findings]The study reveals several key findings:insufficient practical exploration of preprint platforms in HSS;inadequate attention to the value of preprint platforms in HSS;concerns among scholars and journal editors regarding preprint platforms;and a lack of policy safeguards related to preprints in HSS.[Conclusions]To address these issues,it is necessary to establish China's independent preprint platforms for HSS,foster collaboration between preprint platforms and journals,apply AI technology to resolve the concerns of scholars and journal editors,and construct a policy framework for preprint platforms in HSS.
