面向开放科学的科技期刊转型演进过程研究

Transformation and evolution of scientific journals oriented to open science

【目的】梳理开放科学环境下科技期刊的规律性演进过程,为科技期刊的转型发展提供理论支撑。【方法】通过调研国内外相关文献和网站,梳理开放科学背景下科技期刊的转型发展过程,引入耦合理论探讨以科技期刊为代表的传统学术交流系统和开放科学驱动的开放学术交流系统的关系变化,探索学术交流系统的未来发展趋势和科技期刊的转型发展方向。【结果】科技期刊与开放科学之间存在相对独立、相互作用、逐渐融合的关系。面向开放科学的科技期刊转型演变包括开放科学出现前的传统发展阶段、开放科学萌芽后的初步发展阶段、开放科学突起后的被动转型阶段、开放科学繁荣下的主动变革阶段、科技期刊与开放科学的协作融合阶段5个阶段。科技期刊与开放科学两个系统的耦合关系也呈现相对稳定期、反向作用期、磨合发展期、协同发展期4个演化阶段。【结论】随着两个系统的耦合关系不断向协同发展阶段过渡和发展,科技期刊应不断转变思维,积极拥抱开放科学,以用户为中心密切关注用户需求并不断探索新的开放学术交流模式,推动构建更加开放包容的学术交流生态系统。

[Purposes]The aim is to unravel the regular evolution process of scientific journals in the open science environment,so as to provide theoretical support for the transformation and development of scientific journals.[Methods]Through investigating relevant global literature and websites,this paper unraveled the transformation and development of scientific journals in the context of open science,introduced the coupling theory to explore the relationship between the traditional scholarly communication system represented by scientific journals and the open scholarly communication system driven by open science,and explored the development trend of the scholarly communication system and the transformation and development direction of scientific journals.[Findings]There is a relatively independent,interactive,and gradually integrated coupling relationship between scientific journals and open science.The transformation and evolution of scientific journals facing open science includes five stages:the traditional development stage before the emergence of open science,the initial development stage after the germination of open science,the passive transformation stage after the rapid development of open science,the active transformation stage with the prosperity of open science,and the collaboration and integration stage of scientific journals and open science.The coupling of scientific journals and open science shows four stages of evolution:relatively stable period,reverse interaction period,adjustment development period,and collaborative development period.[Conclusions]As the coupling relationship between the two systems transitions to the collaborative development period,the personnel of scientific journals should constantly change their mindset,embrace open science,pay close attention to users′ needs and never cease to explore new open academic communication modes with a user-centred approach,in order to promote a more open and inclusive academic communication ecosystem.
