摘要：

【目的】 探究志愿者在预印本平台学术质量控制中的角色与作用,为我国预印本平台建设提供参考。【方法】 采用网络调查与案例研究法,调研并总结10余个国际知名预印本平台志愿者机制的发展现状。依据调研结果选取最具代表性的arXiv与RePEc作为研究对象,深度剖析志愿者机制的基础架构与组织功能对预印本平台学术质量控制的影响。【结果】 国际预印本平台志愿者机制成熟度差异较大。arXiv与RePEc拥有权责清晰的志愿者工作机制架构、志愿者深度参与的多样化学术质量控制功能,但2个平台的志愿者所发挥作用的类型不同。【结论】 志愿者是预印本平台质量控制体系的重要组成部分。我国预印本平台应广泛招募志愿者,逐步建立和完善志愿者机制;优化志愿者机制架构,明晰志愿者工作职能;借鉴国际经验,丰富志愿者参与下的学术质量控制功能。

Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper explores the roles of volunteers in academic quality control of foreign preprint platforms, aiming at providing a reference for the development of such platforms in China. [Methods] Through network research and case study, we probed into and summarized the volunteer systems of top (>10) international preprint platforms, and then selected the representative arXiv and RePEc to analyze impact of the organizational structure and functions of the volunteer system on the academic quality control of the platforms. [Findings] The maturity of the volunteer system is of great difference among the platforms. The current volunteer systems of arXiv and RePEc specify rights and responsibilities of the members and the diversified academic quality control methods by the members, but the roles of volunteers are different between the two platforms. [Conclusions] Volunteers are crucial for the quality control of preprint platforms. China's preprint platforms should recruit a wide range of volunteers to develop a sound volunteer system, optimize the organizational structure to clarify the responsibilities of volunteers, and learn from foreign counterparts to enrich the academic quality control functions under the participation of volunteers.
