“…The authors can also share pre-print versions of their papers for comment and review before submitting them to a journal for review using an online digital repository, such as PsyArXiv. Sharing publications in this way can encourage both early feedback on articles and the faster dissemination of research findings (Chiarelli et al, 2019).…”

The open science movement has developed out of growing concerns over the scientific standard of published academic research and a perception that science is in crisis (the “replication crisis”). Bullying research sits within this scientific family and without taking a full part in discussions risks falling behind. Open science practices can inform and support a range of research goals while increasing the transparency and trustworthiness of the research process. In this paper, we aim to explain the relevance of open science for bullying research and discuss some of the questionable research practices which challenge the replicability and integrity of research. We also consider how open science practices can be of benefit to research on school bullying. In doing so, we discuss how open science practices, such as pre-registration, can benefit a range of methodologies including quantitative and qualitative research and studies employing a participatory research methods approach. To support researchers in adopting more open practices, we also highlight a range of relevant resources and set out a series of recommendations to the bullying research community.

“…The open science movement encourages sharing, commenting and diffusion by the scientific community of all these stages. Preprints in particular focus the attention of the scientific community because they allow to share the results of research at an early stage 3 . Now widely used and encouraged in many fields of research, preprints are however not peer-reviewed when deposited by authors on open archives.…”

“…It has been reported that even in SNS, especially on Twitter, the users who spread academic information are not necessarily academic, but many of them have backgrounds in social sciences and humanities [7,11], and academic users follow the bots of each preprint server to obtain information, spread preprint information, and discuss it [2]. In other words, Twitter plays an essential role in the distribution of academic information.…”

“…In recent years, preprint servers such as arXiv have been actively used for research information exchange and conference management, and it has been pointed out that Twitter plays a particularly important role in such academic information distribution [2]. It is assumed that the characteristics of information distribution on Twitter differ greatly from that of the conventional one-way information distribution using academic journals as a medium.…”

To analyze the impact that arXiv is having on the world, in this paper we propose an arXiv information distribution model on Twitter, which has a three-layer structure: arXiv papers, information spreaders, and information collectors. First, we use the HITS algorithm to analyze the arXiv information diffusion network with users as nodes, which is created from three types of behavior on Twitter regarding arXiv papers: tweeting, retweeting, and liking. Next, we extract communities from the network of information spreaders with positive authority and hub degrees using the Louvain method, and analyze the relationship and roles of information spreaders in communities using research field, linguistic, and temporal characteristics. From our analysis using the tweet and arXiv datasets, we found that information about arXiv papers circulates on Twitter from information spreaders to information collectors, and that multiple communities of information spreaders are formed according to their research fields. It was also found that different communities were formed in the same research field, depending on the research or cultural background of the information spreaders. We were able to identify two types of key persons: information spreaders who lead the relevant field in the international community and information spreaders who bridge the regional and international communities using English and their native language. In addition, we found that it takes some time to gain trust as an information spreader.
