    Abstract: Purpose To clarify the practical foundation, realistic challenges, and future development path of preprint empowerment in the metaverse era, and explore the development and challenges of preprint itself as well as its transformation and innovation of traditional academic journals and academic publishing ecosystem in the context of the metaverse era. Method Using literature research, comparative analysis, and case analysis methods, this study combs the practical foundation of preprint empowerment in the metaverse era from four aspects: intelligent technology services for academic production, platform field aggregation for academic publishing, collaborative participation in academic evaluation, and multiple ways to facilitate academic diffusion. Result In the development towards the metaverse era, there are many practical challenges such as high digital technology threshold, virtual reality disconnection, weak peer review process, and limited cognition of relevant personnel in preprint. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on integrating industrial clusters, attracting academic synergy, leveraging intelligent tools, and strengthening immersive experience. Conclusion On the basis of fully understanding the practical challenges of preprint academic exchange in the metaverse era, we should fully stimulate technological vitality and academic vitality, promote the digitalization and integration development of academic publishing, and further promote the construction of a powerful country in publishing.
