Abstract： [Purposes] To explore the role and function of volunteers in the academic quality control of preprint platforms, and to provide a reference for the construction of preprint platforms in China. [Methods] Using a web-based survey and case study method, we investigated and summarized the current situation of volunteer mechanism development in more than ten internationally renowned preprint platforms. Based on the research results, the most representative arXiv and RePEc were selected as research objects, and the impact of the infrastructure and organizational functions of the volunteer mechanism on the academic quality control of preprint platforms was analyzed in depth. [Findings] The maturity of the volunteer mechanism of the international preprint platform varies greatly; The current volunteer mechanism of arXiv and RePEc has the structure of volunteer work mechanism with clear rights and responsibilities, and the diversified academic quality control function of volunteers' deep participation, but the types of roles played by volunteers on the two platforms are different. [Conclusions] Volunteers are an important part of the quality control system of preprint platforms. China's preprint platform should widely recruit volunteers, gradually establish and improve the volunteer mechanism; optimize the volunteer mechanism structure and clarify the volunteer work functions; draw on international experience to enrich the academic quality control functions under the participation of volunteers.

Abstract：

At present, scientific data management is being highly concerned and closely studied by scientific research institutions all over the world. Comparing and analyzing the similarities and differences between international and domestic scientific data policy research is conducive to the development of this field. This paper selects the papers related to scientific data policy as the research object, uses the methods of literature metrology and content analysis to analyze the development characteristics and evolution trend of international and domestic research in this field, and reveals the research hot spots. The results show that both international and domestic scientific data policy research are in the stage of exploration and development, and the amount of research literature fluctuates and increases. The research direction is dominated by information science and library science, and some research belongs to interdisciplinary achievements. International research pays more attention to scientific research data sharing, while domestic research focuses on scientific data policy, data management and the research relationship between scientific research data.
