[Purpose/significance] To explore the innovative significance of preprints in academic communication,grasp the factors that influence the adoption of preprint academic communication models by the academic community,and provide a basis for promoting and optimizing the development of domestic preprint platforms. [Method/process]Through online research and case analysis, summarize the functions and features of major preprint platforms at home and abroad. On this basis, based on the theory of innovation diffusion, summarize the structural and cognitive factors that currently affect the further development of preprints. [Result/conclusion] It is recommended that preprint plat⁃forms strengthen communication and cooperation, and promote open science and preprint policies; establish an academ⁃ic committee system to unite diverse entities for collaborative development; develop academic service tools and embed them into online academic communication contexts; improve academic standards for preprints, enhance credibility and
recognition.
