[Purpose/significance] The construction and development of preprint platforms for philosophy and social sciences in China, oriented towards facilitating the establishment of an independent knowledge system in these fields,are crucial to the inheritance and dissemination of China's excellent culture. This article aims to provide development strategies for China's preprint platforms in philosophy and social sciences to address the numerous challenges they face. [Method/process] This article intends to use online survey research and comparative analysis to systematically analyze the current development status, main characteristics, primary issues, and underlying causes of China's preprint platforms in philosophy and social sciences. Based on this analysis, several measures will be proposed to efficiently ad⁃vance the development of these platforms. [Result/conclusion] With the principle of effectively balancing publication speed and academic quality, key measures are proposed: introducing a reviewed preprint mechanism to effectively rec⁃oncile the conflict between publication speed and academic quality, supporting the publication of preprint-associated
research data to enhance the verifiable persuasiveness of key arguments in preprints, and offering registered reports to promote the media integrity layout of preprint platforms for philosophy and social sciences in an open science environ⁃ment. These measures strive to provide feasible decision-making references for efficiently advancing the development of China's preprint platforms in philosophy and social sciences at this stage.
