Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper explores the mechanism of the journal preprint policy, grasps the policy path of the collaborative development of journals and preprints, promotes the organic linkage between academic journals and preprints, and provides a basis for the formulation of relevant guidelines and normative policies for journals. [Methods] Based on grounded theory, this paper summarized the categories and built models of the preprint policies of 120 journals, sorted out the mechanism of their action on the academic exchange behavior of authors in preprint, and analyzed the interaction mechanism of each module. [Findings] One story line, three scenarios (main categories), nine categories, and 25 concepts of the action mechanism of journal preprint policy on the exchange behavior of authors in preprint are summarized, and a "policy-scenario-behavior" integrated model of the action mechanism of journal preprint policy is constructed. [Conclusions] It is suggested that journals should pay attention to improving the policy environment and increasing the willingness of authors to contribute to the preprint, promoting collaborative service and cultivating preprint behavior literacy of authors, and advocating credible communication and stipulating the responsibility of preprint communication during preprint policy formulation.

摘要：

【目的】 探究期刊预印本政策的作用机制,把握期刊与预印本协同发展的政策路径,推动学术期刊与预印本的有机联动,为期刊制定相关指导规范政策提供依据。【方法】 采用扎根理论方法,对120种期刊的预印本政策进行范畴归纳与模型构建,梳理其对作者预印本学术交流行为的作用机制,并对各个模块的相互作用机理进行分析。【结果】 归纳出期刊预印本政策对作者预印本交流行为作用机制的1条“故事线”、3个场景(主范畴)、9个范畴以及25个概念,构建期刊预印本政策作用机制的“政策-场景-行为”整合模型。【结论】 建议期刊在制定预印本政策时,注重完善政策环境,提高作者预印本投稿意愿;促进协同服务,培育作者预印本行为素养;倡导可信传播,明确规定预印本传播责任。
