Collaborative development path and strategy of scientific journal and preprint platform
[Purposes]This study aims to explore the collaborative development path between scientific journals and preprint platforms,and to propose the collaborative development strategy of scientific journals and preprint platforms,so as to provide a reference for constructing a new academic exchange model in the era of open science.[Methods]We selected representative international cases of collaboration between scientific journals and preprint platforms.With a descriptive case study approach,we summarized and sorted out the characteristics of existing typical cooperative models and extracted the collaborative development path between scientific journals and preprint platforms.[Findings]The paper identifies three collaborative paths for scientific journals and preprint platforms:resource collaboration driven by platform development,process collaboration driven by user demand,and goal collaboration driven by open science.[Conclusions]It is recommended that scientific journals and preprint stakeholders fully recognize the benefits of collaborative development,continuously enhance their awareness of collaborative development,promptly formulate policies to support collaborative development,and jointly foster an ecosystem conducive to collaborative development.
