Dataset - Preprints as a driver of open science: opportunities for Southeast Asia

This dataset is related to a preprint " Preprints as a driver of open science: opportunities for Southeast Asia" uploaded to RINarxiv (link: ). The manuscript is submitted to Frontiers in Research and Metric. <br> Southeast Asia is an emerging force of open access scholarly output. For example, Indonesia is in a tight competition with Britain as the largest publisher of open access journals and the second largest producer of open access articles in the world (according to DOAJ and the COKI OA Dashboard respectively). However, this support for open practices is not yet reflected in institutional research policies in Southeast Asian countries, which still rely on criteria influenced by world university rankings that focus on publication outputs and do not incorporate elements related to research culture, integrity, or open science. Preprints have gained increasing attention across disciplines in the last few years, but they are still not included in institutional policies in SouthEast Asia. This paper discusses the potential for preprints to be a driving force for open science and for quality and integrity in scholarly outputs from Southeast Asia. There is a fledgling preprinting culture in the region, catalyzed by the RINarxiv preprint server in Indonesia and the Malaysia Open Science Platform. We argue that preprints have many advantages: opportunities for open access and for researchers to maintain copyright to their work, wide dissemination, encouraging feedback and critical thinking, and community governance. With these advantages, preprints can become a fast and open communication hub between researchers and all stakeholders in the research process. We recommend regulatory and practical steps to incorporate preprints into science policy and researchers’ practices as an effort to promote research integrity, open data and reproducibility.

本数据集关联一篇上传至RINarxiv（链接：）的预印本（Preprints），其标题为《预印本作为开放科学（open science）的驱动力：东南亚的机遇》（Preprints as a driver of open science: opportunities for Southeast Asia）。该稿件已投稿至《研究与计量前沿（Frontiers in Research and Metric）》。

东南亚是开放获取学术成果的新兴力量。例如，印尼与英国竞争激烈，分别为全球最大的开放获取期刊出版商（依据开放获取期刊目录（Directory of Open Access Journals，简称DOAJ）数据）与全球第二大开放获取学术论文产出国（依据COKI开放获取仪表盘（COKI OA Dashboard）数据）。

然而，东南亚各国的机构科研政策尚未体现这种对开放实践的支持：当前政策仍以受世界大学排名（world university rankings）影响的评价体系为核心，仅关注论文产出规模，未纳入与科研文化、科研诚信（research integrity）及开放科学相关的要素。

近年间，预印本在各学科领域的受关注度持续攀升，但东南亚地区的机构科研政策仍未将其纳入考量范畴。

本论文探讨了预印本作为开放科学驱动力，以及提升东南亚学术成果质量与科研诚信的潜在价值。

该地区已初步形成预印本学术文化，这一发展得益于印尼RINarxiv预印本服务器与马来西亚开放科学平台（Malaysia Open Science Platform）的推动。

我们认为，预印本具备多重优势：可为研究人员提供开放获取与保留作品版权（copyright）的契机，实现广泛传播，促进反馈交流与批判性思维，并支持社区治理模式。

依托这些优势，预印本可成为科研人员与研究流程中所有利益相关方（stakeholders）之间高效、开放的交流枢纽。

为此，我们建议出台监管与实操层面的相关举措，将预印本纳入科研政策与科研人员的实践流程，以此推动科研诚信、开放数据与可重复性研究（reproducibility）的发展。
