Transformation and evolution of scientific journals oriented to open science
[Purposes]The aim is to unravel the regular evolution process of scientific journals in the open science environment,so as to provide theoretical support for the transformation and development of scientific journals.[Methods]Through investigating relevant global literature and websites,this paper unraveled the transformation and development of scientific journals in the context of open science,introduced the coupling theory to explore the relationship between the traditional scholarly communication system represented by scientific journals and the open scholarly communication system driven by open science,and explored the development trend of the scholarly communication system and the transformation and development direction of scientific journals.[Findings]There is a relatively independent,interactive,and gradually integrated coupling relationship between scientific journals and open science.The transformation and evolution of scientific journals facing open science includes five stages:the traditional development stage before the emergence of open science,the initial development stage after the germination of open science,the passive transformation stage after the rapid development of open science,the active transformation stage with the prosperity of open science,and the collaboration and integration stage of scientific journals and open science.The coupling of scientific journals and open science shows four stages of evolution:relatively stable period,reverse interaction period,adjustment development period,and collaborative development period.[Conclusions]As the coupling relationship between the two systems transitions to the collaborative development period,the personnel of scientific journals should constantly change their mindset,embrace open science,pay close attention to users'needs and never cease to explore new open academic communication modes with a user-centred approach,in order to promote a more open and inclusive academic communication ecosystem.
