Abstract: This study explores the collaborative development pathways of open publishing of academic journals and preprint platforms from a production affordance perspective. By analyzing the functions of preprint platforms,their role in enhancing the dissemination of research achievements and the quality of manuscripts is discussed. The results indicate that preprint platforms can enhance the visibility and influence of research achievements,significantly enrich the manuscript sources of academic journals,and simultaneously strengthen the effectiveness of academic exchanges through the interaction between individuals and the environment. The bidirectional transmission model based on production affordance theory can not only optimize the efficiency of scientific research dissemination,but also bring high-quality manuscripts to academic journals.

Key words: academic journals, open publishing, preprint platforms, production affordance
