Abstract:

[Purposes] This study aims to clarify the practical foundation, realistic challenges, and future development path of metaverse-empowered preprints, and explore the development and challenges of preprint itself as well as the transformation and innovation of traditional academic journals and academic publishing ecosystem amid the metaverse era. [Methods] By means of literature research, comparative analysis, and case analysis, we reviewed the practical foundation of metaverse-empowered preprints from four aspects: intelligent technology for academic production, platform field aggregation for academic publishing, collaborative participation in academic evaluation, and multiple ways for academic diffusion. [Findings] In the development toward the metaverse era, there are many realistic challenges such as a high threshold of digital technology, disconnection between virtuality and reality, weak peer review process, and limited knowledge of relevant personnel in preprint. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on integrating industrial clusters, attracting academic synergy, leveraging intelligent tools, and strengthening immersive experiences. [Conclusions] On the basis of fully understanding the realistic challenges of preprint academic communication in the metaverse era, China should fully stimulate technological vitality and academic vitality and promote the integrated development of digitalization and academic publishing, therefore making it a powerful country in publishing.
