预印本:学术交流的“破坏性创新”

Preprint: "Disruptive Innovation" of Academic Communication

学术交流目前出现的一个革命性变化是,研究者把未经同行评审的学术论文以"预印本"的方式通过网络直接发布在一个开放平台上,供广大科研人员免费共享,这种交流方式的出现有助于打造出一个全新的普惠型学术交流模式。

There is a kind of'disruptive innovation'in academic communication,i.e.researchers submit their un-peerreview manuscripts as'preprints'to special websites for free download and share.The presence of preprints might help to forge a novel open pattern of academic communication.
