Abstract:

[Purposes] This paper aims to explore the operational strategies and implementation effects of the open access (OA) journal PLOS ONE, in order to examine how to maintain openness and efficient dissemination while ensuring and enhancing the journal’s impact in an open science environment. [Methods] Through a literature review and online research, the operational strategies of PLOS ONE are explored, and two evaluation indicators, the TOP factor and the design of the PPCI (post-publication citation index), are used to analyze PLOS ONE’s openness, transparency, and journal impact at different development stages. [Findings] The study finds that PLOS ONE has significantly improved its openness, transparency, and academic impact by optimizing and improving the institutional framework for journal operations. [Conclusions] The practice of PLOS ONE demonstrates that the key to resolving the contradiction between openness and quality control in OA journals lies in further increasing openness and transparency, while reasonably controlling publication volume, and institutionalizing open peer review.

摘要：

【目的】 通过剖析开放获取(OA)期刊PLOS ONE的运营策略及实施效果,探讨在开放科学环境下,如何在保持开放性和高效传播的同时,保证并提升期刊的影响力。【方法】 通过文献梳理、网络调研PLOS ONE的运营策略,采用TOP因子和设计PPCI(post-publication citation index)2个评估指标,分析PLOS ONE在不同发展阶段的开放性、透明度及期刊影响力。【结果】 PLOS ONE通过优化和完善期刊运营的制度建设,显著提高了期刊的开放性、透明度以及学术影响力。【结论】 PLOS ONE的实践表明,解决OA期刊开放性和质量控制矛盾的关键在于进一步增加开放性与透明度,在合理控制发文量的同时,实现开放同行评议的制度化建设。
