Coevolution model of strategic scientist community and think tank scientific journals
[Purposes]This study investigates the coevolution of strategic scientist communities and think tank scientific journals.Drawing from the ecosystem coevolution perspective,it aims to identify strategies to boost the development of these journals.[Methods]We utilized network research,interviews,and longitudinal single-case study methods to explore the stages of coevolution between the journals and the community of strategic scientists.We also examined the exchange of resources throughout various phases of journal development to analyze the interaction of resources between both parties.[Findings]The relationship between strategic scientists and think tank scientific journals is characterized by a dynamic and staged process.The stages include the establishment,integration,and enhancement of initial resources.Resources arrangement activities observed in these stages are the linking and co-construction,synergy and transformation,and cultivation and efficiency enhancing of resources,respectively.[Conclusions]The results indicate bolstering the investment and integration of scientific resources in think tank scientific journals.The influence of the strategic scientist community should be utilized to promote the development of relevant journals.This,in turn,would contribute to both the development of relevant journals and the professional growth of the strategic scientists.
