科研人员预印本使用与情感对学术期刊出版的启示——基于“小木虫”与“知乎”网络文本

Implications of researchers' use of preprints and emotional responses for academic journal publishing: Insights from texts on Muchong and Zhihu

【目的】分析学术社区中关于预印本的帖子及跟帖,揭示科研人员对预印本的使用与情感感知,为我国学术期刊与预印本的融合发展提供参考。【方法】利用八爪鱼爬虫软件抓取“小木虫”和“知乎”网站中预印本相关数据,使用文本分析法并借助ROSTCM6软件和微词云等工具绘制词云图、构建语义网络、提取讨论主题并进行情感分析。【结果】科研人员对预印本的关注涵盖投稿前的顾虑、投递中的操作和发布后的影响等层面,涉及预印本的撤回与删除、对正式投稿的影响、学术认定和平台选择等内容,对预印本的态度以中性情感为主。【结论】预印本为传统期刊出版模式带来新的机遇与挑战,应从整合平台资源、改进审稿制度、完善认定体系、优化出版模式等角度,打通预印本发布与期刊出版的关联通道,促进学术出版体系的完善,从而更好地服务于科研人员的科研活动。

[Purposes]This study analyzes posts and comments on preprints within the academic community to reveal researchers'perceptions and emotional responses toward preprints.It aims to provide insights for the integration of preprints with traditional academic journal publishing in China.[Methods]Using the Bazhuayu web crawler software,data related to preprints from websites such as Muchong and Zhihu were thus collected.Text analysis methods,including ROST CM6?software and tools like Weiciyun,were employed to generate word clouds,construct semantic networks,extract discussion themes,and conduct sentiment analysis.[Findings]Researchers'attention to preprints covers concerns before submission,operational aspects during submission,and the impact after publication.Topics include withdrawal and deletion of preprints,effects on formal submissions,academic recognition,and platform choices.Researchers'attitudes towards preprints are predominantly neutral in sentiment.[Conclusions]Preprints bring new opportunities and challenges to the traditional journal publishing model.It is recommended to integrate platform resources,improve peer review systems,refine recognition criteria,optimize publishing models,and establish better connections between preprint publication and journal publishing.These efforts aim to enhance the academic publishing system and better serve researchers'activities.
