Abstract:

Purposes This study aimed to explore the reshaping of professional values and competency transformation of scientific journal editors in open science, and propose career development paths adapted to the new environment. Methods Document analysis, model-based analysis, and the inductive method were used to investigate changes in academic publishing processes and their impact on the career development of editors in the context of open science. The study summarizes new requirements that open science places on editors’ professional competence at both the cognitive and practical levels, and proposes individual development paths accordingly. Findings To better adapt to the changes introduced by open science, editors should develop a deeper understanding of open science and redefine their professional roles from a cognitive perspective. From a practical standpoint, they should cultivate essential professional skills based on shifts in their priorities and duties. Conclusions Open science represents an inevitable trend that aligns with the evolution of science and the dissemination of knowledge. Editors of scientific journals should actively embrace open science and position themselves as leading advocates and participants of this trend. Specifically, they are advised to contribute to developing novel academic communication models that foster professional value creation. It is equally essential to build layered market-oriented skills that suit both the current environment and personal competencies. Further, editors should aim to become multi-skilled talents capable of handling diverse professional duties, thereby enhancing their professional self-efficacy and realizing their career development within the open science era.
